Beschreibung

N-Decyltetraoxyethylene is a fatty acid that can be synthesized by reacting naphthalene with ethylene oxide. It is used as a surfactant in pharmaceutical preparations and has been shown to have affinity for ligands such as anionic and cationic surfactants, fatty acids, and model proteins. N-Decyltetraoxyethylene also has antiviral properties, binding to influenza virus particles. This compound has been shown to exhibit bronchiolitis obliterans when administered to animals in vivo. The particle size of this compound is too small for it to be used as a respiratory inhalant drug, but the high surface area of the molecule allows it to be used as a nasal or eye drug.
