Tromethamine, chemically known as 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-propane-1,3-diol, is a non-metallic buffering agent synthesized via the condensation of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane with ammonia. Its molecular formula is C4H11NO3 (CAS No. 77-86-1). This white crystalline powder acts as an effective pH regulator in pharmaceutical formulations and industrial processes.
Strictly limit use in patients with severe renal impairment or metabolic acidosis due to potential accumulation. Store in a cool, dry place away from strong oxidizing agents. Handle with appropriate PPE to avoid respiratory irritation or skin contact.
