Docusate (sodium salt)

Docusate is a surfactant. It forms reverse micelles in oils and increases the solubility of water in oil by forming microemulsions. Docusate has been used in protein extraction, cryo-enzymology, the preparation of ceramic nanoparticles and gelatin-based nanopallets, and as a charge control agent in particle migration imaging.Formal Name: 2-sulfo-butanedioic acid, 1,4-bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester, monosodium salt.
