Tyloxapol is a non-ionic detergent often used as a surfactant.

It is used as a surfactant to aid liquefaction and removal of mucopurulent (containing mucus and pus) bronchopulmonary secretions. Tyloxapol also blocks plasma lipolytic activity, and thus the breakdown of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.

Uses

Tyloxapol is an inhaled surfactant that assists in removing and liquefying and removing bronchopulmonary secretions with mucus and pus. Tyloxapol is administered either through nebulized solution or a stream of oxygen. Also investigated for use/treatment in cystic fibrosis and pediatric indications.

How Tyloxapol works

Tyloxapol, when injected IP, blocks plasma lipolytic activity, and thus the breakdown of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. It has also been shown to be inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase, thus preventing triglyceride uptake.

Toxicity

Acute oral LD50 in 1000 mg/kg in mouse and 5000 mg/kg in rat.
