Beschreibung

Myristoylcholine chloride is a monolayer-forming cationic surfactant that can be used as an antimicrobial agent. It forms stable complexes with fatty acids, which are non-polymeric and hydrophobic. This product has been shown to have hemolytic activity, and also exhibits antibacterial properties against gram-positive bacteria, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. Myristoylcholine chloride is not active against gram-negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Myristoylcholine chloride forms stable complexes with pentacosanoic acid (PCA) when mixed in solution. The chemical structure of PCA is shown below:
CH(CH)COOH
The enzyme hydrolysis of PCA by choline esterases results in the formation of choline and pentacosanoic acid.
