Myramistin-Darnitsa
Antiseptics and disinfectants
Release form:
The action of myramistin is based on the direct hydrophobic interaction of the molecule with the membrane lipids of microorganisms that leads to their fragmentation and destruction. A part of the myramistin molecule, by penetrating into the hydrophobic region of the membrane, destroys the supramembrane layer, loosens the membrane, increases its permeability for high-molecular-weight substances, changes the enzyme activity of the microbial cells, inhibiting the enzyme systems, which leads to suppressing the processes vital for microorganisms and their cytolysis.
