Description

Monolaurin is a natural compound that has been shown to be effective against aurease, sephadex g-100, monolaurin, and monocytogenes. It is also an antimicrobial and can be used in the prevention of bacterial growth. Monolaurin has antibacterial efficacy against Gram-positive bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Streptococcus pyogenes, which are difficult to treat with antibiotics. This agent is also active against Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Neisseria meningitides, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The anti-bacterial activity of monolaurin is due to its ability to disrupt the cell membrane by binding to the fatty acids on the surface of bacterial cells. This agent may have drug interactions with other drugs that are metabolized through cytochrome P450 enzymes or glucuronid
