Taurolidine is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent derived from taurine, widely utilized in catheter lock solutions. Its core mechanism involves irreversible cross-linking of bacterial cell membranes via the formation of taurolactam and taurine derivatives. Molecular Formula: C6H14N2O4; CAS No.: 7590-73-8.
Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to taurine or its derivatives. Strict aseptic handling is required during preparation to prevent contamination. Store in tightly sealed containers at controlled room temperature (15–25°C) away from direct light to maintain chemical stability.
