| 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. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
