Magnesium hydroxide, 99%(KT) [1309-42-8]

Magnesium hydroxide (Magnesium dihydroxide), 99%(KT) is an orally effective antacid. Magnesium hydroxide, 99%(KT) can form a local strongly alkaline microenvironment, reduce ATP production by consuming H⁺, and hydrolyze cellular phospholipids to disrupt the cellular integrity of microorganisms, thus exhibiting antibacterial activity. Magnesium hydroxide, 99%(KT) downregulates the generation of inflammatory macrophages to alleviate inflammatory responses. Magnesium hydroxide, 99%(KT) can be used in research related to acid peptic diseases and chronic wound infections^[1][2].

Magnesium hydroxide, 99%(KT) is used to synthesize a unique fluorescent magnesium hydroxide nanosheet, which is integrated into electrospun fibers to prepare a multifunctional antibacterial wound dressing^[1].
Magnesium hydroxide, 99%(KT), a common component of antacids, unexpectedly increases the risk of gastric mucosal injury when used in combination with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents^[2].
