Benzalkonium chloride is a frequently used preservative in eye drops. Typical concentrations range from 0.004% to 0.01%. [17] Stronger concentrations can be caustic [18] and cause irreversible damage to the corneal endothelium. [19] Avoiding the use of benzalkonium chloride solutions while contact lenses are in place is discussed in the literature.
The industry-sponsored Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) advises on the use of fungicides in crop protection and classifies the available compounds according to their chemical structures and mechanism of action so as to manage the risks of pesticide resistance developing. [4]
cationic surfactants, such as some quaternary ammonium cations (such as benzalkonium chloride, cetyl trimethylammonium bromide or chloride, didecyldimethylammonium chloride, cetylpyridinium chloride, benzethonium chloride) and others, non-quaternary compounds, such as chlorhexidine, glucoprotamine, octenidine dihydrochloride etc.),
The line includes liquid solutions for hard and soft surfaces, air treatment, and hand washing. The active ingredient in many Lysol products is benzalkonium chloride, but the active ingredient in the Lysol "Power and Free" line is hydrogen peroxide. Lysol has been used since its invention in the late 19th century as a household and industrial ...
Triclosan was used as a hospital scrub in the 1970s. Prior to its change in regulatory status in the EU and US, it had expanded commercially and was a common ingredient in soaps (0.10–1.00%), shampoos, deodorants, toothpastes, mouthwashes, cleaning supplies, and pesticides. [3]
Laboratory studies have shown lingering benzalkonium chloride may be associated with antibiotic resistance in MRSA. [ 69 ] [ 70 ] Tolerance to alcohol sanitizers may develop in fecal bacteria. [ 71 ] [ 72 ] Where alcohol sanitizers utilize 62%, or higher, alcohol by weight, only 0.1 to 0.13% of benzalkonium chloride by weight provides ...
Carbachol is not easily metabolized by cholinesterase, it has a 2 to 5 minute onset of action and its duration of action is 4 to 8 hours with topical administration and 24 hours for intraocular administration. Since carbachol is poorly absorbed through topical administration, benzalkonium chloride is mixed in to promote absorption. [3]
Quat salts such as benzalkonium chloride/lidocaine (trade name Bactine among others), cetylpyridinium chloride, or cetrimide. These surfactants disrupt cell walls. Quinolines such as hydroxyquinolone, dequalium chloride, or chlorquinaldol. 4-Hexylresorcinol, or S.T.37
