Taurolidine（Cat No.:R045700）is an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent used primarily to prevent infections, particularly in catheter-related bloodstream infections. It works by disrupting bacterial cell membranes, inhibiting biofilm formation, and neutralizing endotoxins. Unlike traditional antibiotics, taurolidine is effective against a broad range of bacteria and fungi without promoting antibiotic resistance. Its anti-inflammatory properties also help reduce cytokine production, making it useful in conditions involving excessive inflammation. Taurolidine is commonly used as a catheter lock solution in medical settings and is being explored for broader applications, including cancer therapy.
