dodecyl maltoside

An alkyl disaccharide compound and polar surfactant, with potential adenoviral transduction-enhancing activity. Upon administration as a bladder wash, dodecyl maltoside (DDM) acts as a surfactant and enhances adenoviral transduction and infection of the bladder urothelium. This may allow for an efficient delivery of oncolytic viruses in the treatment of bladder cancer.
