Sodium butyrate ke motsoako oa manyolo o nang le foromo ea molek'hule C4H7O2Na le boima ba molek'hule ba 110.0869. Ponahalo ke phofo e tšoeu kapa e batlang e le tšoeu, e nang le monko o khethehileng oa cheesy rancid le thepa ea hygroscopic. Density ke 0.96 g/mL (25/4 ℃), sebaka se qhibilihang ke 250-253 ℃, 'me e qhibiliha habonolo metsing le ethanol.

Sodium butyrate, joalo ka deacetylase inhibitor, e ka eketsa boemo ba histone acetylation. Lipatlisiso li fumane hore sodium butyrate e ka thibela ho ata ha lisele tsa tumor, ho khothalletsa botsofali ba lisele tsa tumor le apoptosis, e ka 'nang ea amana le ho eketseha ha histone acetylation ka sodium butyrate. 'Me sodium butyrate e sebelisitsoe lipatlisisong tsa bongaka ka lihlahala. E ka sebelisoa haholo bakeng sa ho eketsa phepo ea liphoofolo.

1. Ho boloka likokoana-hloko tse molemo ka har'a pampitšana ea mala. Butyric acid e thibela kholo ea libaktheria tse kotsi ka li-membrane tsa lisele, e khothalletsa ho hōla ha libaktheria tse molemo ka har'a pampiri ea mala, 'me e boloka ho leka-lekana ho nepahetseng ho microbiota ea gastrointestinal;
2. Fana ka mehloli e potlakileng ea matla bakeng sa lisele tsa mala. Butyric acid ke matla a ratoang a lisele tsa mala, 'me sodium butyrate e kenngoa ka har'a mala a mala. Ka oxidation, e ka fana ka matla kapele ho lisele tsa epithelial tsa mala;
3. Khothalletsa ho ata le ho hōla ha lisele tsa mala. Tšilo ea lijo ea liphoofolo tsa bana ha ea phethahala, 'me ho na le nts'etsopele ea mala a manyane le li-crypts, le ho haella ho lekaneng ha li-enzyme tsa tšilo ea lijo, e leng se bakang bokhoni bo bobe ba ho monya limatlafatsi tsa liphoofolo tse nyane. Liteko li bontšitse hore sodium butyrate ke activator e ntlafatsang ho ata ha intestinal villus le ho teba ha crypt, 'me e ka atolosa sebaka sa ho monya mala a maholo;
4. Tšusumetso mosebetsing oa tlhahiso ea liphoofolo. Sodium butyrate e ka eketsa ho ja lijo, tlhahiso ea lijo, le boima ba letsatsi le letsatsi. Ntlafatsa maemo a bophelo ba liphoofolo. Fokotsa sekhahla sa letšollo le lefu;
5. Khothaletsa mesebetsi e sa tobang le e khethehileng ea sesole sa 'mele;
6. Monko o khethehileng o na le phello e matla ea ho hohela likolobe tse nyenyane 'me o ka sebelisoa e le ntho e hohelang lijo; E ka eketsoa mefuteng e fapaneng ea phepelo ho eketsa boima ba letsatsi le letsatsi, ho ja lijo, sekhahla sa phepelo ea phepelo, le ho ntlafatsa melemo ea moruo;
7. Fokotsa ho lokolloa ha intracellular Ca2 +. Ho thibela histone deacetylase (HDAC) le ho etsa hore apoptosis ea sele e khonehe;
8. Ho khothaletsa nts'etsopele ea mala a mala, ho lokisa lisele tsa epithelial tsa mucosal, le ho kenya li-lymphocyte;
9. Fokotsa lets'ollo ka mor'a ho khoesoa ho malinyane, hlōla khatello ea maikutlo ea ho khoesoa, 'me u ntlafatse lebelo la ho phela ha likolobe.
