There is no separate compound -- pure salt is sodium chloride.
Salt is a desiccant (drying agent) because it forms hypertonic solutions and then evaporates the water to the air. In the case of a leech (or a slug), their protective mucus coating would be dehydrated by the salt, and they could lose substantial bodily fluids in the process.
Salt is sometimes applied to the skin to prevent leeches from attaching. However, the salt will rapidly rinse off if exposed to rain or ground water.
NOTE
Using salt or other chemicals to remove a leech is not recommended. If injured while still feeding, a leech can vomit contaminated blood back into the host.
