PropertiesIcauxtrin is a water-soluble glucose polymer in which starch is linked by α-(1-4) and less than 10% α (1-6) glycosidic bonds, with a weight-average molecular weight of 13000-19000 Da and a number average molecular weight of 5000-650Chemicalbook0Da. As a glucose polymer, it can be degraded into small molecule polymers by starch acidolysis, lye or enzymatic hydrolysis, and then obtained by molecular weight screening. UsesAcoxtrin is a white or light yellow powder that can be used as the main active ingredient in peritoneal dialysate
