5-aminosalicylic acid solution

"Commercially available 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-AS) was recrystallised in the presence of Na2S2O5.
[...] No difference in sensitivity of the assay was found between modified 5-AS solution and ortho-phenylenediamine (OPD)."

5-aminosalicylic acid is abbreviated either as 5-ASA or 5-AS. It's commercially known as Mesalazine or Mesalamine and is used to treat bowel inflammation.
