The Application of Potassium Myristate in the Pharmaceutical Industry
Potassium myristate is mainly used as a pharmaceutical intermediate and active ingredient in the pharmaceutical field. It is a key intermediate in synthesizing antibiotics that prepare various β- Lactam antibiotics, such as penicillin, cephalosporins, etc. In synthesizing such antibiotics, the advantage of potassium myristate lies in the asymmetry of the four carbon atoms in its structure, which makes its stereochemical configuration more stable during the synthesis of antibiotics, thereby improving the antibacterial effect of antibiotics.
In addition, potassium myristate can also be used as an active ingredient in the preparation of anti-tumor, antimalarial, antiviral, and other drugs. Its advantage lies in the good compatibility between the chemical structure of potassium myristate and the targets of these drugs, which can improve the efficacy of the drugs and reduce side effects.

The Application of Potassium Myristate in the Field of Food Additives
Potassium myristate is mainly used in food additives to enhance the taste and aroma of food. It is a commonly used food preservative and antioxidant, which can effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and extend the shelf life of food.
In addition, potassium myristate can also be used as a spice to prepare various food essences. Its advantage lies in the strong aroma and stable properties of potassium myristate, which does not easily react with other substances and can provide a long-lasting and stable aroma for food.

The application of potassium myristate in the field of cosmetics
The cosmetics industry mainly uses potassium myristate as a moisturizer and softener. It can form a protective film by combining with the oil on the skin's surface, thereby locking in skin moisture, maintaining skin moisture balance, and keeping the skin soft and smooth.
In addition, potassium myristate can also be used as an emulsifier to prepare various creams and lotion. Its advantage is that the chemical structure of potassium myristate is similar to the oil composition on the surface of human skin. Hence, the skin easily absorbs it, and does not cause a burden on the skin. At the same time, it can improve the stability and moisturizing effect of cosmetics.
