The AIDS ·pandemic has directed various research endeavors towards finding an appropriate method for eliminating all potentially infectious material within bone allografts before implantation into a recipient. To that effect, Panavirocide was conceived by Medicine and Applied Science·s, Inc. This compound, in which three nonionic surfactants serve as the active agents, has been shown to inactivate HIV-1 particles within blood and blood products. Because Panavirocide has never been used with allografts, the purpose of the present research was to characterize the nonionic surfactants for the putative alteration of the formulation by determining the critical micelle concentration values and to determine …
