Myristyl-γ-picolinium chloride（Cat No.:R057189）is a quaternary ammonium compound composed of a myristyl (tetradecyl) alkyl chain attached to a γ-picolinium (methylated pyridine) core, with chloride as the counterion. It functions as a cationic surfactant and antimicrobial agent, commonly used in disinfectants, antiseptics, and personal care products. Its long hydrophobic tail enables strong interaction with lipid membranes, disrupting microbial cell walls and leading to cell death. This compound is also utilized in formulations for fabric softeners, hair conditioners, and emulsifiers. Its amphiphilic nature makes it effective in reducing surface tension and stabilizing emulsions.
