Cetrimonium (bromide)

Cetrimonium bromide (CTAB), a quaternary ammonium, is an orally active cationic surfaetant. Cetrimonium bromide has toxicity and anticancer effect. Cetrimonium bromide inhibits cell migration and invasion through modulating the canonical and non-canonical TGF-β signaling pathways. Cetrimonium bromide can be used for DNA extraction[1][2][3][4].
