Description

Methyl paraben sodium is a preservative that belongs to the group of antimicrobial agents. It is used as a preservative in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Methyl paraben sodium has been shown to have significant cytotoxicity at concentrations above 0.1%. The concentration-time curve for methylparaben sodium shows that it has a rapid effect on bacteria, with an increase in the number of dead cells after 24 hours. Methyl paraben sodium also showed significant cytotoxicity against human lung cells at concentrations below 1%. This agent has been shown to be effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, but not yeast or moulds. Methylparaben sodium is soluble in water and glycol ethers, but insoluble in oil. The solubility of this agent means that it can be used in various formulations such as nanoparticulate compositions and postharvest treatments for fruit and vegetables. Methylparaben sodium is also
