Description
Sodium Nitroprusside Dihydrate
High-Purity NO Donor | CAS 13755-38-9 | Shaanxi Sunrise Pharmaceutical
Critical Stability Warning: Highly photosensitive. Solid form is stable when protected from light, but aqueous solutions decompose rapidly in light to form toxic cyanide ions. Always prepare fresh and use amber glass.
Professional Overview
Sodium Nitroprusside Dihydrate is a unique coordination complex of iron. Characterized by its brilliant ruby-red crystalline form, it is a potent nitric oxide (NO) donor. At Shaanxi Sunrise Pharmaceutical, we provide premium-grade material (≥99.5%) ensuring minimal impurities, making it a reliable precursor for pharmaceutical synthesis and advanced biochemical research into cardiovascular and neurological signaling.

Core Applications
Nitric Oxide (NO) Donor
Serves as a critical tool compound in cardiovascular research to study vasodilation, blood pressure regulation, and signal transduction pathways (cGMP).
Analytical Chemistry
Used as a highly sensitive sensitive colorimetric reagent for detecting functional groups like sulphides, ketones, and aldehydes in laboratory analysis.
Pharmaceutical R&D
Acting as an API precursor for injectable formulations aimed at acute hypertensive crisis management and surgical blood pressure control research.
Mechanism of Action
The biochemical efficacy of Sodium Nitroprusside is defined by its ability to release Nitric Oxide (NO):
NO Release: Upon contact with red blood cells or tissue sulfhydryl groups, it spontaneously decomposes to release free Nitric Oxide.
cGMP Activation: The released NO activates guanylate cyclase, leading to increased levels of intracellular cGMP, which triggers smooth muscle relaxation and potent vasodilation.
Rapid Response: It provides a nearly instantaneous pharmacological effect with a very short half-life, allowing for precise control in experimental settings.
Technical Support & FAQ
How should Sodium Nitroprusside solutions be handled?
Aqueous solutions should be prepared using D5W (5% Dextrose in Water) or sterile water and must be immediately wrapped in aluminum foil to protect from light. If the solution turns blue, green, or dark red/brown, it indicates decomposition and must be discarded.
What is the shelf life and storage requirement?
The solid crystalline form has a shelf life of 24 months when stored at room temperature (15-30°C) in a tightly closed, original brown glass or opaque container, kept away from moisture and light.
What impurities are controlled during production?
At Shaanxi Sunrise, we strictly monitor ferricyanide, ferrocyanide, and insoluble matter levels. Each batch is tested via HPLC and titration to ensure it meets the USP/BP pharmaceutical standard grade.
Can I request a sample for research validation?
Yes, we support R&D projects with small-scale sample packaging. Please contact Betty with your specific research requirements and project details.
