CAS 1715-30-6: Alexidine dihydrochloride
Description:Alexidine dihydrochloride is a synthetic compound primarily used as an antiseptic and disinfectant. It belongs to the class of biguanides, which are known for their antimicrobial properties. This substance is characterized by its ability to disrupt microbial cell membranes, making it effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi, and some viruses. Alexidine dihydrochloride is typically presented as a white to off-white powder and is soluble in water, which facilitates its application in various formulations, including mouthwashes and topical antiseptics. Its mechanism of action involves binding to the negatively charged components of microbial membranes, leading to cell lysis. Additionally, it is often favored in formulations due to its relatively low toxicity and irritation potential compared to other antiseptics. However, like all chemical agents, it should be used according to safety guidelines to minimize potential adverse effects. Overall, Alexidine dihydrochloride is valued in both clinical and consumer products for its efficacy in infection control.
