General description
Potassium antimonyl tartrate trihydrate is a metalloid salt in which the antimony is in trivalent state (SbIII).[1] Potassium antimonyl tartrate (PAT) is an antiparasitic agent[2] predominantly used for treating infections caused by the parasite Leishmania.[3] Its antiangiogenic and antitumor properties has been investigated in nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells.[4] Studies in Chinese hamster ovary cells show that it may prevent the repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) caused by γ-irradiation.[5]
Application
Potassium antimonyl tartrate trihydrate has been used in the dose-inhibition experiments to evaluate the dose-inhibition curves of antimony-based antileishmanial compoundsagainst Leishmania promastigotes in medium 199.[6]
Potassium antimonyl tartrate trihydrate may be used to prepare antimony (Sb(III)) stock solution in deionized water (100mg/L).[7] It may also be employed in the spectrophotometric determination of total phosphorus in dry sediments.[8]
