Synonyms:
- N,N,N-Trimethyl-2-[(1-oxotetradecyl)oxy]ethanaminium chloride
Brand:Biosynth
Description: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)COOHThe enzyme hydrolysis of PCA by choline esterases results in the formation of choline and pentacosanoic acid.
