Product Description
Cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate is a cationic quaternary ammonium compound used in some types of mouthwashes, toothpastes, and throat and nasal sprays as an antiseptic that kills bacteria and other microorganisms. Effectively prevents plaque and reduces gingivitis.
Cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate (CAS#: 6004-24-6) is a quaternary ammonium compound that functions as a cationic surfactant with broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antiseptic capabilities. It acts by disrupting the cell membranes of microorganisms, leading to their lysis and eventual death. The compound is used to study the mechanisms of bacterial and virus inactivation by cationic quaternary ammonium detergents. It is effective in oral hygiene products such as mouthwashes and throat lozenges to reduce plaque and prevent oral infections. Its molecular formula is C21H38ClN·H2O with a molecular weight of 358.00 g/mol.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate targets microbial cell membranes. As a cationic surfactant, its mechanism involves the interaction of the positively charged cetylpyridinium chloride molecules with the negatively charged components of the microbial cell membrane, causing destabilization and permeabilization. This disruption compromises membrane integrity, leading to leakage of cellular contents and ultimately cell death. The compound also inhibits the growth and reproduction of various microorganisms by disrupting their metabolic processes.

In vitro, Cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate demonstrates broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as pathogenic fungal species. The compound exhibits bactericidal activity with log reduction values determined in susceptibility tests. It is used in experimental applications for studying the effects of antimicrobial agents on microbial populations and their mechanisms of action. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) are determined by broth microdilution methods.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate is used as an antimicrobial and antiseptic agent in oral hygiene products such as mouthwashes and throat lozenges to reduce plaque and prevent oral infections. It can be used as a preservative in pharmaceutical formulations. The compound's ability to reduce surface tension enhances its effectiveness as a surfactant. Its broad-spectrum activity and safety profile support its use in various personal care and pharmaceutical applications.
Enzyme Assay
Cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate antimicrobial susceptibility assays involve determining minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) against various microorganisms. Bacteria and fungi are cultured in appropriate media and treated with the compound at varying concentrations. Microbial growth is monitored by optical density measurements or colony counting. Bactericidal activity is assessed by log reduction determination. Membrane disruption studies are performed using fluorescent dyes such as propidium iodide to assess membrane integrity. Assays are performed with appropriate positive controls such as known quaternary ammonium compounds.
Cell Assay
Cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate cell-based assays are conducted in bacterial and fungal cultures. Microorganisms are cultured in appropriate media and treated with the compound at varying concentrations. Antimicrobial activity is assessed by measuring growth inhibition and determining MIC/MBC values. For mammalian cell studies, cell viability is assessed by standard assays to evaluate selectivity. The compound's membrane-disrupting mechanism is confirmed by measuring leakage of cellular contents. Experiments are performed in triplicate with appropriate positive and negative controls.

Additional Infomation
Cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate is a hydrate containing Cetylpyridinium chloride. Cetylpyridinium chloride is the chloride form of Cetylpyridinium, a quaternary ammonium salt with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. After topical application, the positively charged Cetylpyridinium chloride reacts with the negatively charged surface of microbial cells, thereby disrupting the integrity of the cell membrane. This leads to leakage of intracellular components, ultimately resulting in microbial death. See also: Cetylpyridinium chloride (note moved to).
Cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate (CPC, Hexadecylpyridinium chloride monohydrate) is a quaternary ammonium compound and cationic surfactant with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. It disrupts microbial cell membranes, leading to cell lysis and death. The compound is used in oral hygiene products such as mouthwashes and throat lozenges, and as a preservative in pharmaceutical formulations. Its molecular formula is C21H38ClN·H2O with a molecular weight of 358.00 g/mol. All applications are limited to non-human research use.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
