CAS 70-30-4: Hexachlorophene

Description: Hexachlorophene is a synthetic antimicrobial agent primarily used in antiseptic formulations and personal care products. It is characterized by its white crystalline solid form and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The chemical structure of hexachlorophene features a biphenyl core with six chlorine atoms substituted at various positions, contributing to its potent antibacterial properties, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria. Due to its effectiveness, it was historically used in medical and household disinfectants. However, concerns regarding its neurotoxicity and potential for skin irritation have led to restrictions on its use in many countries. Hexachlorophene is also known for its ability to disrupt microbial cell membranes, which enhances its efficacy as a preservative. Safety measures are essential when handling this compound, as excessive exposure can lead to adverse health effects. Overall, while hexachlorophene remains a significant compound in microbiological applications, its use is carefully regulated to mitigate health risks.
