General description

N-Lauroylsarcosine (N-Dodecanoyl-N-methylglycine, Sarkosyl L, LS) is an anionic surfactant. Its microbicidal action against herpes simplex type 2 (HSV-2) intravaginal infection in a murine model has been investigated.

Application

N-Lauroylsarcosine may be used as a permeation enhancer in the transdermal drug delivery formulations since it increases the fluidity of stratum corneum lipid structure of the skin†

To develop formulations for transdermal drug delivery, this study tested the hypothesis that the anionic surfactant, N-lauroylsarcosine (NLS), and ethanol synergistically increase skin permeability by increasing the fluidity of stratum corneum lipid structure. Skin permeability experiments showed that transdermal delivery
