Biochem/physiol Actions
Taurolidine is a broad spectrum antibiotic with antineoplastic activity, which induces apoptosis and decreases tumor cell proliferation. Taurolidine has been used with TNF-related-apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) to characterize synergistic responses in many apoptosis related signaling-proteins. Tauroline is also being used as a tool to study the various mechanisms of apoptosis and necrosis.
Taurolidine is an antibacterial agent that can be used for the treatment of peritonis. It has also been used as an antiendoxic substance for systematic inflammatory response syndrome and as an anti-angiogenic agent for tumors. Furthermore, studies have reported that taurolidine can be used for the prevention of multiple catheter-related bloodstream infections.
Preparation Note
Taurolidine is soluble in DMSO at a concentration that is greater than 20 mg/ml.

Bacteremia is a major cause of morbidity in patients using intravascular catheters. Interdialytic locking with antibiotics decreases the incidence of bacteremia, but risks antibiotic resistance. Taurolidine is a nontoxic broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that has not been associated with resistance. Preliminary

The literature shows that repeated courses of antibiotics and catheter removals in a subset of patients suffering from multiple catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI), are unlikely to prevent recurrence. In acceding to preventative strategies, we report our application of the antimicrobial

Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass provokes a systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by the surgical trauma itself, blood contact with the non-physiological surfaces of the extracorporeal circuit, endotoxemia, and ischemia. The role of endotoxin in the inflammatory response syndrome has

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most frequent primary bone tumor. Despite multiagent neoadjuvant chemotherapy, patients with metastatic disease have a poor prognosis. Moreover, currently used chemotherapeutics have severe toxic side effects. Thus, novel agents with improved antimetastatic activity and reduced toxicity
