Description

Domiphen bromide is a quaternary ammonium compound. It is a white, odorless crystalline powder, soluble in water and organic solvents. Domiphen bromide inhibits the growth of bacteria by disrupting their cell membranes. This effect is achieved through the release of free fatty acids from the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane and by the formation of pores in the membrane that allow ions to leak out. Domiphen bromide also has an antimicrobial effect against Gram-positive bacteria such as C. glabrata and Gram-negative bacteria such as Cetylpyridinium or P-hydroxybenzoic acid, which are resistant to other disinfectants. Domiphen bromide is used as a preservative in pharmaceutical products and cosmetics, as well as a disinfectant for surfaces and materials.
