General Description

Cetyldimethylbenzylammonium bromide (CDBAB) is a quaternary ammonium compound commonly used as a surfactant and disinfectant. It is a member of the alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride family and has been found to be effective against a wide range of bacteria and viruses. CDBAB is commonly used in disinfectant and cleaning products, as well as in personal care products such as shampoos and conditioners. It works by disrupting the cell membrane of microorganisms, leading to their inactivation and eventual death. Due to its effective antimicrobial properties, CDBAB has become a widely used ingredient in many household and industrial cleaning and disinfecting products.

Synthesis, self-aggregation and biological properties of alkylphosphocholine and alkylphosphohomocholine derivatives of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, cetylpyridinium bromide, benzalkonium bromide (C16) and benzethonium chloride

A series of alkylphosphocholine and alkylphosphohomocholine derivatives of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, cetylpyridinium bromide, benzalkonium bromide (C16) and benzethonium chloride have been synthesized. Their physicochemical properties were also investigated. The critical micelle concentration (cmc), the surface tension value at the cmc (γcmc), and the surface area at the surface saturation per head group (Acmc) were determined by means of surface tension measurements. The prepared compounds exhibit significant cytotoxic, antifungal and antiprotozoal activities. Alkylphosphocholines and alkylphosphohomocholines possess higher antifungal activity against Candida albicans in comparison with quaternary ammonium compounds in general. However, quaternary ammonium compounds exhibit significantly higher activity against human tumor cells and pathogenic free-living amoebae Acanthamoeba lugdunensis and Acanthamoeba quina compared to alkylphosphocholines. The relationship between structure, physicochemical properties and biological activity of the tested compounds is discussed.
