General description

A nonionic liquid polymer of the alkyl aryl polyether alcohol type. Used as a surfactant.

Application

Tyloxapol is a nonionic liquid polymer of the alkyl aryl polyether alcohol type. It is used as a surfactant to aid liquefaction. Tyloxapol is used in the development of non-ionic surfactant-based liposomes (niosomes) for use in drug delivery systems. Tyloxapol may be used to study its mechanism of protecting macrophages from endotoxins. Tyloxapol may be used to study is potential cell toxicitiy.
