Description

Tyloxapol is a nonionic surfactant that is used as a wetting agent and emulsifier. It is synthesized by the reaction of ethylene oxide with a mixture of nonylphenol and octylphenol. Tyloxapol is used in a variety of applications, including pharmaceutical formulations, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning products. It is also used as a research tool to study the effects of surfactants on biological membranes. Tyloxapol is known to disrupt the cell membrane and can be used to study the permeability of cells. It has also been shown to have antiviral activity against some viruses, such as HIV and influenza. The study of tyloxapol is important because it can provide insights into the mechanisms of action of surfactants and their effects on biological systems. Tyloxapol is also being investigated as a potential treatment for a variety of diseases, including cancer and Alzheimer's disease.'

tyloxapol: non-ionic detergent with surface-active properties; incompatible with metals; surfactant also used in inhalation therapy; N1 is from CA Vol 90 Form Index; N1 in Chemline is same as synonym 8 [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

tyloxapol : A polymeric compound resulting from the reaction of 4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol with formaldehyde to give a chain in which 6-8 molecules are linked together by CH2 groups ortho to the phenolic hydroxy groups, which have then undergone reaction with oxirane to give polyoxyethyleneoxy moieties, Ar(OCH2CH2)xOH, where x = 8-10. A nonionic liquic polymer, it inhibits lipoprotein lipase and hence clearance of triglyceride from the plasma, so is used to induce hyperlipidaemia in test animals. Also used as a surfactant to aid liquefaction and removal of mucus- and pus-containing bronchopulmonary secretions.

Treatment

Tyloxapol treatment produced dose- and time-dependent cytotoxicity. Most cells at lower doses fully recovered from the changes in superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide production.
