Strontium nitrate significantly better than using glycolic acid alone. As a divalent ion with an ionic radius similar to that of Ca (1.13 vs. 0.99 A, respectively), Sr ions resembles calcium's ability to traverse calcium-selective ion channels and trigger neurotransmitter release from nerve endings. It is thus used in electrophysiology experiments. In his short story "A Germ Destroyer", Rudyard Kipling refers to strontium nitrate as the main ingredient of the titular fumigant. Strontium nitrate Strontium nitrate is an inorganic compound made of the elements strontium and nitrogen with the formula Sr(NO). This colorless solid is used as a red colorant and oxidizer
Gallium nitrate of gallium nitrate were associated with anemia when used in treating patients for advanced cancer. In results, several patients have received red blood cell transfusions. Gallium nitrate Gallium nitrate (brand name Ganite) is the gallium salt of nitric acid with the chemical formula Ga(NO). It is a drug used to treat symptomatic hypercalcemia secondary to cancer. It works by preventing the breakdown of bone through the inhibition of osteoclast activity, thus lowering the amount of free calcium in the blood. Gallium nitrate is also used to synthesize other gallium compounds. Gallium (Ga) was discovered in 1875 by P.É. Lecoq de
