Molecular Formula: H2NaO4P
SMILES: [Na+].OP(O)([O-])=O
Structure:
DrugBank Description: Sodium phosphate is a saline laxative that is thought to work by increasing fluid in the small intestine. It usually results in a bowel movement after 30 minutes to 6 hours.
CAS Number: 7558-80-7
Molecular Weight: 119.977
DrugBank Indication: Used to treat constipation or to clean the bowel before a colonoscopy .
DrugBank Pharmacology: Sodium phosphate inceases fecal water content to increase mobility through the large intestine .
DrugBank MoA: Sodium phosphate is thought to work by increasing the amount of solute present in the intestinal lumen thereby creating an osmotic gradient which draws water into the lumen .
