Description of Tranexamic Acid:
It is a synthetic amino acid, also known as tranexamic acid, tranexamic acid, hemostatic acid, etc. Tranexamic acid is a white crystalline powder, odorless, slightly bitter, easily soluble in water, but almost insoluble in ethanol, acetone, chloroform or ether.
Specification of Tranexamic Acid：
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Chemical Properties | |
| CAS Number | 1197-18-8 |
| Molecular Formula | C8H15NO2 |
| Molecular Weight | 157.21 |
| Solubility | Easily soluble in hot water, methanol, ethanol, and other solvents |
| Main Uses | |
| Medical | Hemostatic drug, used to treat various bleeding conditions such as excessive menstrual bleeding and surgical bleeding. |
| Cosmetics | Whitening and freckle-removing products, used to inhibit melanin production. |
Functions and Applications:
- Primary use: Hemostatic drug
- Prevents excessive bleeding by inhibiting fibrinolysis (the breakdown of blood clots)
- Additional effects:
- Anti-angiogenic (prevents the formation of new blood vessels)
- Melanin-reducing (helps lighten skin pigmentation)
- Anti-inflammatory
- Anti-allergic
- Anti-aging (both natural and photoaging)
Medical Applications:
- Treatment of excessive menstrual bleeding
- Prevention of blood loss during surgery
- Management of traumatic bleeding
Cosmetic Applications:
- Skin lightening and brightening
- Treatment of hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
- Anti-aging formulations
Overall, tranexamic acid is a versatile compound with applications in both medical and cosmetic fields.
