Properties: Yellow amorphous solid. Weakly acidic. Sol in methanol, ethyl acetate, CHCl3, acetone, methylene chloride. Insol in water. pKa = 6.1. Unstable in acidic or basic soln, but can be kept in aq soln at pH 7-9 for 4 hrs at 25° without significant loss of activity. Solns kept at 25° or heated to 56° are 2-10 times more stable in methanol than in water or pH 9 borate buffer. LD50 in mice (mg/kg): >1000 s.c., >4000 orally (Berger et al.).
pKa: pKa = 6.1
