Graf, P (2005). "Rhinitis medicamentosa: a review of causes and treatment". Treatments in Respiratory Medicine. 4 (1): 21–9. doi: 10.2165/00151829-200504010-00003. PMID 15725047. S2CID 25175067. The ultimate effect of BACs is to damage the pathogen’s membrane, thus for bacteria, disrupting essential cell processes like ATP synthesis or solute uptake. Dimethyl di(hydrogenated tallow) ammonium chloride; CAS: 61789-80-8 | Synonyms: Quaternary ammonium compounds, bis(hydrogenated tallow alkyl)dimethyl, chlorides

Enzymes, which finely control a wide range of respiratory and metabolic cellular activities, are particularly susceptible to deactivation.

Its activity depends on the surfactant concentration and also on the bacterial concentration (inoculum) at the moment of the treatment. Benzalkonium chloride is readily soluble in ethanol, IPA and acetone. Although dissolution in water is slow, aqueous solutions are easier to handle and are preferred. Solutions should be neutral to slightly alkaline, with colour ranging from colourless to a pale yellow. Solutions foam profusely when shaken.

CAS :68424-85-1 Chemical Name Quaternary ammonium compounds, benzyl-C12-16-alkyldimethyl, chloridesOther names: N-Alkyl-N-benzyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride; Alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride; ADBAC; BC50 BC80; Quaternary ammonium compounds; quats Benzyldimethylamine can then be converted into ammonia by performing demethylation twice, which removes both methyl groups, followed by debenzylation, removing the benzyl group using hydrogenation. Since then, they have been used in a wide variety of products, both prescription and over the counter. Applications range from domestic to agricultural, industrial, and clinical. Functions such as cell adhesion, cell signaling, selective permeability to ions and nutritional organic molecules ensure cellular survival through its ability to interact with and respond effectively to environmental stimuli. The diagram represents suggested pathways of the biodegradation of BAC for both the hydrophobic and the hydrophilic regions of the surfactant.

Benzalkonium chloride disinfectants are non-toxic, non-tainting & odour-free at typical use dilutions BAC 50, also known as alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chlorides, alkyl dimethyl (phenylmethyl) quaternary ammonium chlorides, ammonium alkyl dimethyl (phenylmethyl) chlorides, or ammonium alkyl dimethyl benzyl chlorides, isa class of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs). Benzalkonium chloride is a frequently used preservative in eye drops; typical concentrations range from 0.004% to 0.01%. [16] Stronger concentrations can be caustic [17] and cause irreversible damage to the corneal endothelium. [18] CAS RN: 8001-54-5; Chemical Name: Quaternary ammonium compounds, alkylbenzyldimethyl, chlorides benzalkonium chloride; benzyl-C12-18 -alkyldimethylammonium chlorides CAS :8001-54-5; Chemical Name Quaternary ammonium compounds, alkylbenzyldimethyl, chlorides benzalkonium chloridebenzyl-C12-18 -alkyldimethylammonium chloridesThe use concentration of BAC 50 will depend on the particular application and the required degree of antimicrobial activity. This can cause dissociation of cellular membrane lipid bilayers, which compromises cellular permeability controls and induces leakage of cellular contents.

It is used in beekeeping for the treatment of rotten diseases of the brood. [27] Adverse effects [ edit ] Benzalkonium chloride (BAC 50) formulations for consumer use are dilute solutions. Concentrated solutions are toxic to humans, causing corrosion/irritation to the skin and mucosa, and death if taken internally in sufficient volumes. Germicide, agent antiseptique; Benzenemethanaminium, N,N-dimethyl-N-tridecyl-, chloride (1:1) [ACD/Index Name] Application(s):detergent: A surfactant (or a mixture containing one or more surfactants) having cleaning properties in dilute solutions.The mechanisms proposed in the literature include changes in the overall membrane composition, downregulation of porins, overexpression or modification of efflux pumps, horizontal gene transfer of transposon elements and stress factors, biofilm formation, and biodegradation. Benzalkonium chloride (BAC 50) is a quaternary ammonium-based product. It can be used for the preparation of disinfectants, cleaners and timber preservation formulations and other similar applications. The outer membrane’s reduced permeability is a result of strong LPS-LPS lateral interactions, where a highly anionic “R-core” region on the LPS links interacts with soluble divalent cations to link LPS molecules together. It is used as an antimicrobial preservative in numerous medicinal products for the nasal route of administration and in many preparations for inhalation use authorized on EU markets.
