Chemical structure

Chemical structure of Sodium Gluconate
A drawing shows what the molecule is, not what it does.

Existing / approved use

Documented · FDA, WHO, ChEMBL

Approved for

  • Hemorrhage

Indications ChEMBL records as approved, from FDA and DailyMed labels. Label ↗

Anti-infective classification
Neither a WHO ATC code nor an FDA pharmacologic class was found for it, so whether it is already an antimicrobial is not established. It needs review and is not counted as a repurposing candidate.

Repurposing investigation

No supported pathogen reaches ≥40% AI-predicted activity for Sodium Gluconate, so it is not among the repurposing candidates. Its predictions are shown below.

AutoDock Vina, one experimentally solved protein per pathogen. This project’s screening target is -7.0 kcal/mol, its own mark rather than a universal cutoff. A docking score is a structural hypothesis, not proof of binding, and requires experimental validation.

Other medicines to investigate

AI prediction · nothing measured

Other repurposing candidates: approved medicines besides Sodium Gluconate with AI-predicted activity ≥40% against the chosen pathogen, leaving out existing antimicrobials. They are computational candidates for further investigation, not alternatives and not recommendations.

Sorted by AI-predicted activity, high to low. The order is not a ranking of which medicine is better.
