Rutin sodium sulfate

Rutin sodium sulfate (CAS 12768-44-4, EC 235-805-8) is the sodium salt form of sulfated rutin, a flavonoid glycoside derivative. It is also referred to as sodium rutin sulfate or marketed under names such as Birutin Forte. No E-code is assigned to this substance.

In pharmaceutical formulations, rutin sodium sulfate acts as an antioxidant by scavenging free radicals and chelating metal ions that catalyse oxidative degradation, helping to stabilise active ingredients. It is also investigated in nutraceutical and food-grade applications where oxidative stability of sensitive compounds requires enhancement at the molecular level.

Rutin sodium sulfate is supplied as a pharmaceutical-grade intermediate and falls under REACH registration requirements for EU market access. Procurement teams should confirm compliance documentation, including certificates of analysis and safety data sheets, prior to ordering. Packaging formats vary by supplier and should be confirmed at the time of enquiry.
