Succinic acid sodium  (Synonyms: Wormwood acid sodium)

Succinic acid sodium is a potent and orally active anxiolytic agent. Succinic acid sodium shows inhibitory effects on colonic epithelial cell proliferation in vivo. Succinic acid sodium can down-regulate the expression of KCNMB1 (potassium channel subunit β1) and TET1 (ten‑eleven translocation 1). Succinic acid sodium can be used for gestational hypertension research^[1][2][3].

Succinic acid sodium (3.0 or 6.0 mg/kg, PO) increased the percentage of entries into open arms and of time spent on open arms^[1].
succinic acid (3.0, 6.0, and 12.0 mg/kg, IP) caused significant increases in food intake during 5 min when compared with the vehicle^[1].
Succinic acid sodium (100 mM) infused into rat colons significantly inhibits colonic cell proliferation and reduced crypt size^[2].
