How Lapyrium works

As a QAC, lapyrium likely acts by associating with the negatively charged cell membrane of bacterial cells . This is followed by the insertion of the compound's side chain and subsequent disruption of the cell membrane. Ultimately this disruption leads to the leakage of cellular contents and cell lysis. QACs are typically more effective against Gram-positive bacteria as they only have one cell membrane.

Toxicity

Intravenous LD50 of 18mg/kg reported for mice . Oral LD50 estimated to be 8.2g/kg based on results with steapyrium chloride in rats due to the similarity in structre between steapyrium and lapyrium .
