Texapon N 70

Texapon N 70 NA is a sodium laureth sulfate used in clear and pearlescent, medium to high viscosity shampoos, bath and shower products. It is a high active ether sulfate manufactured from a special mid-cut fatty alcohol containing an average of 2 moles of ethylene oxide with maximum control of unwanted by-products, including those causing color and odor. This product has an unsulfated alcohol content of 2.50% max., a pH value (10% sol.) of 7.0-9.0, and a FAES (MW 381) of 68.0-72.0%. Texapon N 70 is used in shampoos, shower and bath preparations, skin cleansers.

Texapon N 70 (SLS) or sodium laureth sulfate (SLS), sometimes written sodium laurilsulfate, is a synthetic organic compound with the formula CH3(CH2)11SO4Na. It is an anionic surfactant used in many cleaning and hygiene products. This molecule is an organosulfate and a salt. It consists of a 12-carbon tail attached to a sulfate group, that is, it is the sodium salt of dodecyl hydrogen sulfate, the ester of dodecyl alcohol and sulfuric acid. Its hydrocarbon tail combined with a polar "headgroup" give the compound amphiphilic properties and so make it useful as a detergent.[not verified in body] Also derived as a component of mixtures produced from inexpensive coconut and palm oils, Texapon N 70 is a common component of many domestic cleaning, personal hygiene and cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food products, as well as of industrial and commercial cleaning and product formulations.
Structure and properties
Structure of Texapon N 70
Texapon N 70 is in the family of organosulfate compounds,[2] and has the formula, CH3(CH2)11SO4Na. It consists of a 12-carbon tail attached to a sulfate group, that is, it is the sodium salt of a 12-carbon alcohol that has been esterified to sulfuric acid. An alternative description is that it is an alkyl group with a pendant, terminal sulfate group attached. As a result of its hydrocarbon tail, and its anionic "head group", it has amphiphilic properties that allow it to form micelles, and so act as a detergent.
Physicochemical properties
Bottle of 20% Texapon N 70 in distilled water for use in the laboratory.
The critical micelle concentration (CMC) in pure water at 25 °C is 8.2 mM,[1] and the aggregation number at this concentration is usually considered to be about 62.[3] The micelle ionization fraction (α) is around 0.3 (or 30%).

Production of Texapon N 70
Texapon N 70 is synthesized by treating lauryl alcohol with sulfur trioxide gas, oleum, or chlorosulfuric acid to produce hydrogen lauryl sulfate.[5] The resulting product is then neutralized through the addition of sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate.[citation needed] Lauryl alcohol can be used in pure form or may be derived from either coconut or palm kernel oil by hydrolysis (which liberates their fatty acids), followed by hydrogenation.[citation needed] When produced from these sources, commercial samples of these "Texapon N 70" products are actually not pure Texapon N 70, rather a mixture of various sodium alkyl sulfates with Texapon N 70 being the main component.[6] For instance, Texapon N 70 is a component, along with other chain-length amphiphiles, when produced from coconut oil, and is known as sodium coco sulfate (SCS).[7] Texapon N 70 is available commercially in powder, pellet, and other forms (each differing in rates of dissolution), as well as in aqueous solutions of varying concentrations.
Applications of Texapon N 70
Cleaning and hygiene
Texapon N 70 is mainly used in detergents for laundry with many cleaning applications.[8] It is a highly effective surfactant and is used in any task requiring the removal of oily stains and residues; for example, it is found in higher concentrations with industrial products including engine degreasers, floor cleaners, and car exterior cleaners.
In lower concentrations, it is found in hand soap, toothpastes, shampoos, shaving creams, and bubble bath formulations, for its ability to create a foam (lather), for its surfactant properties, and in part for its thickening effect.

Food additive of Texapon N 70
Texapon N 70, appearing as its synonym Texapon N 70 (SLS), is considered a generally recognized as safe (GRAS) ingredient for food use according to the USFDA (21 CFR 172.822).[11] It is used as an emulsifying agent and whipping aid.[12] SLS is reported to temporarily diminish perception of sweetness.
Laboratory applications of Texapon N 70
Principal applications of Texapon N 70
Texapon N 70, in science referred to as Texapon N 70 (Texapon N 70), is used in cleaning procedures,[14] and is commonly used as a component for lysing cells during RNA extraction and/or DNA extraction, and for denaturing proteins in preparation for electrophoresis in the Texapon N 70-PAGE technique.
Denaturation of a protein using Texapon N 70
In the case of Texapon N 70-PAGE, the compound works by disrupting non-covalent bonds in the proteins, and so denaturing them, i.e. causing the protein molecules to lose their native conformations and shapes. By binding to proteins at a ratio of one Texapon N 70 molecule per 2 amino acid residues, the negatively charged detergent provides all proteins with a similar net negative charge and therefore a similar charge-to-mass ratio.[16] In this way, the difference in mobility of the polypeptide chains in the gel can be attributed solely to their length as opposed to both their native charge and shape.[16][17] It is possible to make separation based on the size of the polypeptide chain to simplify the analysis of protein molecules, this can be achieved by denaturing proteins with the detergent Texapon N 70.[18] The association of Texapon N 70 molecules with protein molecules imparts an associated negative charge to the molecular aggregate formed;[citation needed] this negative charge is significantly greater than the original charge of that protein.[citation needed] The electrostatic repulsion that is created by Texapon N 70 binding forces proteins into a rod-like shape, thereby eliminating differences in shape as a factor for electrophoretic separation in gels.[citation needed] A dodecyl sulfate molecule has two negative charges at the pH value used for electrophoresis, this will lead the net charge of coated polypeptide chains to be much more negative than uncoated chains.[18] The charge-to-mass ratio is essentially identical for different proteins because Texapon N 70 coating dominates the charge.

Miscellaneous applications of Texapon N 70
Texapon N 70 is used in an improved technique for preparing brain tissues for study by optical microscopy. The technique, which has been branded as CLARITY, was the work of Karl Deisseroth and coworkers at Stanford University, and involves infusion of the organ with an acrylamide solution to bind the macromolecules of the organ (proteins, nucleic acids, etc.), followed by thermal polymerization to form a "brain–hydrogel" (a mesh interspersed throughout the tissue to fix the macromolecules and other structures in space), and then by lipid removal using Texapon N 70 to eliminate light scattering with minimal protein loss, rendering the tissue quasi-transparent.[19][20]
Along with sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and Triton X-100, aqueous solutions of Texapon N 70 are popular for dispersing or suspending nanotubes, such as carbon nanotubes.

Niche uses of Texapon N 70
Texapon N 70 has been proposed as a potentially effective topical microbicide, for intravaginal use, to inhibit and possibly prevent infection by various enveloped and non-enveloped viruses such as the herpes simplex viruses, HIV, and the Semliki Forest virus.[22][23]
In gas hydrate formation experiments, Texapon N 70 is used as a gas hydrate growth promoter.[24][25] [26] Researchers aim for gas hydrate promotions as scale-up of industrial applications of gas hydrates such as desalination process,[27] gas storage, and gas separation technologies.[28]
Liquid membranes formed from Texapon N 70 in water have been demonstrated to work as unusual particle separators.[29] The device acts as a reverse filter, allowing large particles to pass while capturing smaller particles.

Toxicology of Texapon N 70
Carcinogenicity
Texapon N 70 is not carcinogenic when consumed or applied directly, even to amounts and concentrations that exceed amounts used in standard commercial products.[30][31] The earlier review of the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) program Expert Panel in 1983 reported that Texapon N 70 (there, abbreviated SLS, for Texapon N 70) in concentrations up to 2%, in a year-long oral dietary studies in dogs, gave no evidence of tumorigenicity or carcinogenicity, and that no excess chromosomal aberrations or clastogenic effects were observed in rats fed up to 1.13% Texapon N 70 in their diets for 90 days, over those on a control diet.[30]:157, 175 The 2005 review by the same group indicated that further available data lacked any available suggestion that Texapon N 70 or the related ammonium salt of the same amphiphile could be carcinogenic, stating that "Despite assertions to the contrary on the Internet, the carcinogenicity of these ingredients is only a rumor;" both studies conclude that Texapon N 70 appears "to be safe in formulations designed for discontinuous, brief use followed by thorough rinsing from the surface of the skin. In products intended for prolonged contact with skin, concentrations should not exceed 1%.

Sensitivity of Texapon N 70
Like all detergents, Texapon N 70 removes oils from the skin, and can cause skin and eye irritation.[citation needed] It has been shown to irritate the skin of the face, with prolonged and constant exposure (more than an hour) in young adults.[32] Texapon N 70 may worsen skin problems in individuals with chronic skin hypersensitivity, with some people being affected more than others.[33][34][35]
Oral concerns of Texapon N 70
The low cost of Texapon N 70,[36] its lack of impact on taste,[36] its potential impact on volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), which contribute to malodorous breath,[37] and its desirable action as a foaming agent have led to the use of Texapon N 70 in the formulations of toothpastes.[36] A series of small crossover studies (25-34 patients) have supported the efficacy of SLS in the reduction of VSCs, and its related positive impact on breath malodor, although these studies have been generally noted to reflect technical challenges in the control of study design variables.[37] While primary sources from the group of Irma Rantanen at University of Turku, Finland conclude an impact on dry mouth (xerostomia) from SLS-containing pastes, a 2011 Cochrane review of these studies, and of the more general area, concludes that there "is no strong evidence… that any topical therapy is effective for relieving the symptom of dry mouth."[38] A safety concern has been raised on the basis of several studies regarding the effect of toothpaste Texapon N 70 on aphthous ulcers, commonly referred to as canker or white sores.[36] A consensus regarding practice (or change in practice) has not appeared as a result of the studies.[39][40] As Lippert notes, of 2013, "very few… marketed toothpastes contain a surfactant other than SLS [Texapon N 70]," and leading manufacturers continue to formulate their produce with Texapon N 70.
Interaction with fluoride
Some studies have suggested that SLS in toothpaste may decrease the effectiveness of fluoride at preventing dental caries (cavities). This may be due to SLS interacting with the deposition of fluoride on tooth enamel.

SAFETY
Texapon N 70 has been thoroughly reviewed for its safety by a number of governments.
Texapon N 70 from the requirement of tolerance for residues when used as a component of food contact sanitizing solutions applied to all food contact surfaces in public eating places, dairy-processing equipment, and food-processing equipment and utensils at a maximum level in the end-use concentration of 350 parts per million (ppm). The regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of Texapon N 70. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) includes Texapon N 70 on its list of multipurpose additives allowed to be directly added to food. Texapon N 70 and Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate are also approved indirect food additives. For example, both ingredients are permitted to be used as components of coatings. Texapon N 70 and Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate may be used in cosmetics and personal care products marketed in Europe according to the general provisions of the Cosmetics Directive of the European Union. The Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, which is an organization of 30-plus developed countries, has reviewed the human and environmental hazards of a category of chemicals that includes Texapon N 70. No chronic human health hazards, including carcinogenicity, were identified. The hazard assessment for the category (alkyl sulphates, alkane sulphonates and alpha-olefin sulphonates category) is posted on the OECD website.
Texapon N 70 has also been thoroughly reviewed for human safety by an industry funded, independent panel, which found: There is no evidence of harm from the use of Texapon N 70 in cosmetic products, where there is intentional, direct contact with the skin. The ingredient was reviewed in 1983 and re-reviewed in 2005 by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR)1 Expert Panel and found to be safe for use in cosmetic and personal care products. Texapon N 70 can cause skin irritation in some persons, which is one reason why it is important to follow the label instructions when using a cleaning product. A complete report on Texapon N 70 is available from CIR.

Overview
Texapon N 70 is one of the ingredients you'll find listed on your shampoo bottle. However, unless you're a chemist, you likely don't know what it is. The chemical is found in many cleaning and beauty products, but it's frequently misunderstood.
Urban myths have linked it to cancer, skin irritation, and more. Science may tell a different story.
How it works
Texapon N 70 is what's known as a "surfactant." This means it lowers the surface tension between ingredients, which is why it's used as a cleansing and foaming agent.
Most concerns about Texapon N 70 stem from the fact that it can be found in beauty and self-care products as well as in household cleaners.
Texapon N 70 is a surfactant with a similar chemical formula. However, SLES is milder and less irritating than Texapon N 70.
Where you'll find Texapon N 70 
If you look under your bathroom sink, or on the shelf in your shower, it's very likely you'll find Texapon N 70 in your home. It's used in a variety of products, including:
Grooming products, such as shaving cream, lip balm, hand sanitizer, nail treatments, makeup remover, foundation, facial cleansers, exfoliants, and liquid hand soap
Hair products, such as shampoo, conditioner, hair dye, dandruff treatment, and styling gel
Dental care products, such as toothpaste, teeth whitening products, and mouthwash
Bath products, such as bath oils or salts, body wash, and bubble bath
Creams and lotions, such as hand cream, masks, anti-itch creams, hair-removal products, and sunscreen
You'll notice that all of these products are topical, or applied directly to the skin or body.
Texapon N 70 is also used as a food additive, usually as an emulsifier or a thickener. It can be found in dried egg products, some marshmallow products, and certain dry beverage bases.
Are there dangers?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regards Texapon N 70 as safe as a food additive.
Regarding its use in cosmetics and body products, the safety assessment study of Texapon N 70 , published in 1983 in the International Journal of Toxicology (the most recent assessment), found that it's not harmful if used briefly and rinsed from the skin, as with shampoos and soaps.
The report says that products that stay on the skin longer shouldn't exceed 1 percent concentration of Texapon N 70.
However, the same assessment did suggest some possible, albeit minimal, risk to humans using Texapon N 70. For example, some tests found that continuous skin exposure to Texapon N 70 could cause mild to moderate irritation in animals.
Nevertheless, the assessment concluded that Texapon N 70 is safe in formulations used in cosmetics and personal care products. Because many of these products are designed to be rinsed off after short applications, the risks are minimal.
According to most research, Texapon N 70 is an irritant but not a carcinogen. Studies have shown no link between the use of Texapon N 70 and increased cancer risk.
According to a 2015 study, Texapon N 70 is safe for use in household cleaning products.

About 1/3 of HIV positive mothers transmit the virus to their newborns, and 1/2 of these infections occur during breastfeeding. Texapon N 70 (SLS), an anionic surfactant, is a common ingredient of cosmetic and personal care products. Texapon N 70 is "readily biodegradable" with low toxicity and "is of no concern with respect to human health". Up to 1 g of Texapon N 70/kg is the maximum safe dose for children. Alkyl sulfates, including Texapon N 70, are microbicidal against HIV types 1 and 2, herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), human papillomaviruses and chlamydia. /The study/ hypothesizes that Texapon N 70 treatment of milk will inactivate HIV-1 without significant harm to its nutritional value and protective functions and may define a treatment of choice for breastwas at 37 degrees C for 10 min. Texapon N 70-PAGE and Lowry were used to analyze protein content. Antibody content and function was studied by rocket immunoelectrophoresis (RIE), immunoturbodimentric (ITM) quantitation and ELISA. The creamatocrit was also analyzed. HIV-1 infectivity was measured by MAGI assay. Texapon N 70 removal was by Detergent-OutN (Geno Technology, Inc.). Texapon N 70 quantitation is by methylene blue-chloroform method. Inactivation of HIV-1 with Texapon N 70 occurs at or above 0.025%. In milk samples, 1% and 0.1% Texapon N 70 reduced HSV-2 infectivity. At least 90% of Texapon N 70 can be efficiently removed with Detergent-OutN, with protein recovery of 80%-100%. Gross protein species are conserved as indicated by PAGE analyses. Fat and energy content of Texapon N 70-treated breast milk remains unchanged. 0.1% Texapon N 70 can be removed from human milk without altering the creamatocrit. ELISA of serum IgG (rubella) proved it remains functional in the presence of Texapon N 70 and after its removal. sIgA, IgG and IgM in breast milk are conserved after Texapon N 70-treatment when measured by RIE and ITM. CONCLUSIONS: Texapon N 70 (0.025%) can inactivate HIV-1 in vitro and HSV-2 in breast milk. Texapon N 70 can be efficiently removed from milk samples. Texapon N 70 treatment of milk does not significantly alter protein content. Antibody function in serum and levels in breast milk are maintained after treatment and removal of Texapon N 70. 0.1% Texapon N 70 does not alter fat concentration in milk and energy content is conserved. Texapon N 70 or related compounds may be used to prevent breast milk transmission of HIV-1.

A broad-spectrum vaginal microbicide must be effective against a variety of sexually transmitted disease pathogens and be minimally toxic to the cell types found within the vaginal epithelium, including vaginal keratinocytes. /The study/ assessed the sensitivity of primary human vaginal keratinocytes to potential topical vaginal microbicides nonoxynol-9 (N-9), C31G, and Texapon N 70 (SLS). Direct immunofluorescence and fluorescence-activated cell sorting analyses demonstrated that primary vaginal keratinocytes expressed epithelial cell-specific keratin proteins. Experiments that compared vaginal keratinocyte sensitivity to each agent during a continuous, 48-hr exposure demonstrated that primary vaginal keratinocytes were almost five times more sensitive to N-9 than to either C31G or Texapon N 70. To evaluate the effect of multiple microbicide exposures on cell viability, primary vaginal keratinocytes were exposed to N-9, C31G, or Texapon N 70 three times during a 78-hr period. In these experiments, cells were considerably more sensitive to C31G than to N-9 or Texapon N 70 at lower concentrations within the range tested. When agent concentrations were chosen to result in an endpoint of 25% viability after three daily exposures, each exposure decreased cell viability at the same constant rate. When time-dependent sensitivity during a continuous 48-hr exposure was examined, exposure to C31G for 18 hr resulted in losses in cell viability not caused by either N-9 or Texapon N 70 until at least 24 to 48 hr. Cumulatively, these results reveal important variations in time- and concentration-dependent sensitivity to N-9, C31G, or Texapon N 70 within populations of primary human vaginal keratinocytes cultured in vitro. These investigations represent initial steps toward both in vitro modeling of the vaginal microenvironment and studies of factors that impact the in vivo efficacy of vaginal topical microbicides.

Texapon N 70 (SLS) is an anionic detergent that can form complexes with protein through hydrophobic interactions. Studies have reported that the hydrodynamic functions of protein-Texapon N 70 complexes are governed by the length of their polypeptide chains. Thus, Texapon N 70-based electrophoretic techniques can separate protein molecules based on their molecular weights. Additionally, Texapon N 70 can solubilize cell membranes and can extract membrane-bound proteins.
Analytical procedures are described for determining residues of Texapon N 70 in whole blood from guinea pigs. Methods are based on hydrolysis & analysis by electron-capture gas-chromatography.

Texapon N 70 Electrophoresis
Texapon N 70 electrophoresis was the next logical step after disk electrophoresis. While the latter discriminates macromolecules on the basis of both size and surface charge, Texapon N 70 electrophoresis fractionates polypeptide chains essentially on the basis of their size. It is therefore a simple, yet powerful and reliable method for molecular mass (Mr) determination. In 1967, it was first reported that electrophoretic migration in Texapon N 70 is proportional to the effective molecular radius and thus to the Mr of the polypeptide chain. This result means that Texapon N 70 must bind to proteins and cancel out differences in molecular charge, so that all components then migrate solely according to size. Surprisingly large amounts of Texapon N 70 appear to be bound (an average of 1.4 g Texapon N 70 per gram of protein), which means that the number of Texapon N 70 molecules bound is of the order of half the number of amino acid residues in a polypeptide chain. This amount of highly charged surfactant molecules is sufficient to overwhelm effectively the intrinsic charges of the polymer coil, so that their net charge per unit mass becomes approximately constant. If migration in Texapon N 70 (and disulfide reducing agents, such as 2-mercaptoethanol, in the denaturing step, for a proper unfolding of the proteins) is proportional only to molecular mass, then, in addition to canceling out of charge differences, Texapon N 70 also equalizes molecular shape differences as well (e.g., globular versus rod-shaped molecules). This seems to be the case for protein–Texapon N 70 mixed micelles: these complexes can be assumed to behave as ellipsoids of constant minor axis (∼1.8 nm) and with the major axis proportional to the length in amino acids (i.e., to molecular mass) of the protein. The rod length for the 1.4 g Texapon N 70/g protein complex is of the order of 0.074 nm per amino acid residue.

Texapon N 70
Texapon N 70 (SLS), also known as lauryl sulfate, is an ionic detergent that is useful for the rapid disruption of biological membranes. It is a key component of many reagents used to purify nucleic acids because of its abilities to quickly disrupt the tissue architecture and to inhibit both RNase and deoxyribonuclease (DNase) activity. Texapon N 70 is usually prepared as either a 10% or a 20% (w/v) stock solution and is used most often at a working concentration of 0.1% to 0.5%. The performance of this detergent can be affected significantly by its purity. Texapon N 70 is easily precipitable in the presence of potassium salts and generally is not added to guanidinium buffers, as it has very low solubility in high-salt, chaotropic solutions.
Two classes of proteins show anomalous behavior in Texapon N 70 electrophoresis: glycoproteins (because their hydrophilic oligosaccharide units prevent hydrophobic binding of Texapon N 70 micelles) and strongly basic proteins (e.g., histones) (because of electrostatic binding of Texapon N 70 micelles through their sulfate groups). The first can be partially alleviated by using Tris–borate buffers at alkaline pH, which will increase the net negative charge on the glycoprotein, thus producing migration rates well correlated with molecular size. Migration of histones can be improved by using pore gradient gels and allowing the polypeptide chains to approach the pore limit.
