Title: Improvements in or relating to citric acid derivatives
IPC: C07C69/704
Filed: 1960-03-22
Abstract: The invention comprises citryl trigluconic acid, isolated as a syrup which has not been completely freed from water, and metal salts including calcium, magnesium and iron citryl trigluconates. Citryl trigluconic acid is made by reacting citric acid and gluconic acid or glucono-8-lactone in the proportion of approximately three moles of gluconic acid or lactone per mole of citric acid in aqueous solution at a temperature within the range from about 80 DEG C. to 110 DEG C. The metal salts may be made by reacting the citryl trigluconic acid in aqueous solution with an alkaline compound of the corresponding metal, for example, an oxide, hydroxide or carbonate, diluting the resulting solution with a watermiscible organic liquid in which the salt is insoluble in sufficient amount to precipitate the salt, and recovering the resulting precipitate.  Citryl trigluconic acid finds many uses as a sequestering agent, and the metal salts may be used to remedy nutritive deficiencies.ALSO:Metal salts of citryl trigluconic acid may be used in aqueous solutions in compositions used to remedy nutritive deficiencies, such as calcium, magnesium and iron deficiencies, by injection or oral administration.  For example, the calcium salt may be supplied in physiological saline containing 1 gm. of calcium citryl trigluconate per 10 c.c.  A composition for injection may contain thiamine hydrochloride, liver extract and calcium citryl trigluconate.  The magnesium salts are useful as laxatives alone and in conjunction with antacid mixtures.  They may also be employed for parenteral administration as anticonvulsants, central depressants or dehydrants.  The iron salts may be used as iron supplements for oral or intravenous administration.
