CAS 3380-34-5: Triclosan
Description:Triclosan, with the CAS number 3380-34-5, is an antimicrobial agent commonly used in various consumer products, including soaps, toothpaste, and household items, due to its ability to inhibit bacterial growth. It is a synthetic compound belonging to the class of chlorinated aromatic compounds, characterized by its white crystalline solid form at room temperature. Triclosan is lipophilic, which allows it to penetrate cell membranes, disrupting bacterial fatty acid synthesis. Its chemical formula is C12H7Cl3O2, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 289.5 g/mol. Triclosan exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against a range of bacteria and fungi, making it effective in preventing infections. However, its widespread use has raised concerns regarding environmental persistence, potential endocrine-disrupting effects, and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Regulatory agencies have scrutinized its safety, leading to restrictions in certain applications. Overall, while triclosan serves as an effective antimicrobial agent, its environmental and health implications necessitate careful consideration in its use and regulation.
