Description

Didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDDAB) is a quaternary ammonium salt that acts as a p-gp substrate. It inhibits the growth of bacteria, such as Hl-60 cells, by binding to and blocking the efflux pump protein. DDDAB has been shown to be effective in the treatment of infectious diseases in animal models, including sepsis and pneumonia. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to metal hydroxides and metal ions, thereby inhibiting enzymatic activity. The biological properties of DDDAB are not fully understood but it has been shown that this drug can form disulfide bonds with other molecules and exhibits phase transition temperatures near room temperature. DDDAB also reacts with benzalkonium chloride and surfactants to form stable salts that have been shown to be effective for wastewater treatment.
