sodium azulenesulfonate

Sodium azulenesulfonate (also known as sodium gualenate) is a water-soluble derivative of azulene, a natural anti-inflammatory compound extracted from chamomile (*Matricaria chamomilla*). It is widely used as a mucosal protective and anti-inflammatory agent to treat gastrointestinal disorders, such as chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers, and duodenal ulcers, as well as localized inflammatory conditions of the mouth and throat (e.g., pharyngitis, tonsillitis, stomatitis). Sodium azulenesulfonate exerts its therapeutic effects by directly acting on inflamed mucosal tissues to inhibit histamine release from mast cells, reduce pepsin activity, and increase mucosal prostaglandin E2 synthesis, which promotes granulation tissue formation and epithelial cell regeneration.
