Taurolidine

An antimicrobial derived from the amino acid taurine, synthesised in 1972 in Switzerland and studied from 1975 against peritonitis: it is used to prevent infections of venous catheters, and in the United States it was approved in 2023, combined with heparin, for haemodialysis catheters. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.

Did you know?In the body it breaks down into taurine, carbon dioxide and water, and it acts by releasing chemical groups similar to formaldehyde; in various studies, bacterial resistance has never been observed.
