Description

1-Dodecylpyridinium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt that is used as an antimicrobial agent in a variety of products, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and household products. It has been shown to be toxic to humans at doses above 0.5 mg/kg. At sublethal doses, 1-dodecylpyridinium chloride inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to the cationic sites on their cell surfaces and preventing them from attaching to other cells or molecules in their environment. 1-Dodecylpyridinium chloride also binds to the enzyme p-nitrophenyl phosphate reductase, which is required for bacterial growth. This inhibition leads to cell death by preventing ATP production and protein synthesis.
