Potassium poly(vinyl sulfate) is a synthetic polymer that is characterized by its anionic nature due to the presence of sulfate groups in its structure. This compound is typically used as a dispersant and stabilizer in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Its molecular structure consists of a poly(vinyl) backbone with sulfate groups attached, which imparts water-solubility and enhances its ability to interact with other charged species. The potassium ions associated with the polymer help to balance the negative charges from the sulfate groups, contributing to its stability in solution. Additionally, potassium poly(vinyl sulfate) exhibits good biocompatibility, making it suitable for use in biomedical applications. Its properties can be influenced by factors such as molecular weight and the degree of sulfonation, which can affect its viscosity and interaction with other materials. Overall, this compound is valued for its functional versatility and effectiveness in various formulations.

Polyvinyl sulfate potassium salt is a polymer that contains 17,000 to 22,000 repeating units of vinyl sulfate. It has been shown to interact with the surface of red blood cells and inhibit the enzyme activity of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins. Polyvinyl sulfate potassium salt also inhibits HIV infection by binding to the surface glycoprotein gp120.
