Mechanism of Action
KAOLIN
Kaolin adsorbs water, toxins and bacteria, contributing to firmer stools, reducing fluid loss from diarrhea
TRICLOSAN
At in-use concentrations, triclosan acts as a biocide, with multiple cytoplasmic and membrane targets. At lower concentrations, however, triclosan appears bacteriostatic and is seen to target bacteria mainly by inhibiting fatty acid synthesis. Triclosan binds to bacterial enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase enzyme (enr), which is encoded by the gene fabi. This binding increases the enzyme's affinity for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (nad+). This results in the formation of a stable ternary complex of enr-nad+-triclosan, which is unable to participate in fatty acid synthesis. Fatty acids are necessary for reproducing and building cell membranes. Humans do not have an enr enzyme, and thus are not affected
