Description

Zinc salicylate trihydrate is a chemical that belongs to the group of biocides. It inhibits the function of p21, an enzyme involved in cell cycle progression, and is used for the treatment of acne vulgaris. Zinc salicylate trihydrate has been shown to be effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This compound is also a cationic surfactant that acts as a reaction mechanism by binding to hydroxyl groups on the bacterial cell wall, leading to cell death. Zinc salicylate trihydrate forms films on skin surfaces that prevent bacterial penetration and proliferation. The film-forming properties are due to its ability to form ester linkages with benzoates and hydrochloric acid. The rate at which this compound achieves its antimicrobial activity depends on its activation energy (Ea) values, which can vary from 3.5 kcal/mol to 5 kcal/mol depending on the pH level.
