General description

N-Lauroylsarcosine is an anionic surfactant with an ability to denature proteins. Due to its microbicidal property, N-lauroylsarcosine is being considered as a potent anti-microbicide in topical formulations, especially against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Application

N-Lauroylsarcosine sodium salt has been used to study the complexing ability of a novel amphiphilic γ-cyclodextrin with anionic surfactants.

Other Notes

Anionic surfactant.
