Structure
Schematic formula:
Properties
Appearance (1), solid.
Solubility soluble in water.
Stability stable. Under strong acid condition, easily hydrolyzed.
Risk Solid form: corrosion; irritation, irritation to skin, eye, respiratory system.
GHS label: 
Ecology may be hazardous to environment. Water body should be given special attention.
Biodegradability biodegradable.
Characteristics excellent chelating, cleansing, emulsifying, dispersing, anticorrosive, antirust abilities. The properties are related to the location of phosphoric acid groups. For example, inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate as a second messenger can manipulate the Ca2+ channel; inositol 1,2,3-triphosphate has good antioxidant activity and can scavenge free radicals.
