General description

The benzethonium chloride is a well characterized skin irritant and rare sensitizer.

Application

Benzethonium chloride has been used in a study to assess the minimum inhibitory concentrations of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from Malaysia. It has also been used in a study to prepare biocomposite films from sodium alginate and modified clay.

Benzethonium, an antimicrobial surfactant widely used as preservative of pharmaceuticals, topical wound care product and oral disinfectant, triggers apoptosis of several cell types. The apoptosis is preceded and possibly triggered by mitochondrial depolarization. Even though lacking mitochondria, erythrocytes may similarly

The convergent synthesis of fluorescence-labeled solamin, an antitumor Annonaceous acetogenin, was accomplished by two asymmetric alkynylations of 2,5-diformyl tetrahydrofuran with an alkyne tagged with fluorescent groups and another alkyne with an α,β-unsaturated γ-lactone. Assay for the growth inhibitory activity against

Here we present a proof-of-concept study, combining two known antimicrobial agents into a hybrid structure in order to develop an emergent cationic detergent-like interaction with the bacterial membrane. Six amphiphilic conjugates were prepared by copper (I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between a
