Description

Dodecylpyridinium bromide is a glycol ether surfactant that is used as an inhibitor molecule. It inhibits multidrug efflux pumps, which are proteins in the membrane of cells that pump drugs out of the cell. Dodecylpyridinium bromide is also used as a surfactant in water-based paints and coatings, as well as in printing ink formulations. This chemical has been shown to have amoebicidal activity by interacting with the phospholipids on the surface of the amoeba, causing it to go into spore formation. Dodecylpyridinium bromide is also used for its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria such as Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can cause infection in burn patients.
Dodecylpyridinium bromide can be synthesized from benzalkon
