lauryl alcohol

Development stage: Preclinical
Lead developer: Zhejiang University Stomatological Hospital
Modality: Small Molecules
Administration: Intralesional Injection

Overview

Lauryl alcohol, also known as dodecanol, is a fatty alcohol with a 12-carbon chain. It is derived from natural sources like coconut or palm kernel oil and is widely used in cosmetics as an emollient, surfactant, and thickener. In pharmaceutical applications, it serves as a chemical intermediate for various products, including surfactants, and as an emollient. When used as a sclerosing agent, lauryl alcohol acts as a detergent, damaging the endothelial cells lining blood vessels. This disruption leads to an inflammatory response, thrombosis, and ultimately fibrosis, causing the occlusion of the targeted vascular structures.

Other names: dodecanol1-dodecanoldodecyl alcohol
