Magnesium → HCID 178484161, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Magnesium ions combine with oxytetracycline in solution to form magnesium-oxytetracycline chelates. Magnesium oxide is a convenient and preferred source of magnesium ions, but other magnesium compounds useful for this purpose include magnesium chloride, magnesium acetate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium ascorbate, magnesium lactate and magnesium gluconate. The preferred molar ratio of magnesium to oxytetracycline in these compositions is from about 0.8 to 1.1.
