The depicted structure is wrong! The active ingredient for sklerotherypy is the substance with CAS No 139-88-8
[edit]The structure shown depicts n - Tetradecylsulphate. (n-STDS)
Actually, this is NOT the active pharmaceutical ingredient used for sklerotherapy in injectables such as Sotradecol, Trombovar, Fibrovein etc. Those medicines contain a branched sodium tetradecylsulphate isomer systematically named "Sodium 7-ethyl-2-methyl-4-undecanol sulfate", CAS No.: 139-88-8 is unfortunately also frequently referred to as "STDS".
