HALOGEN Flashcards
MOA: iodination of aromatic residues (phenylalanyl and tyrosyl) and oxidation of (sufhydryl groups)
Iodophors
I2 + surfactants; reduces volatility and removes irritant properties
Iodophors
Oldest and most effective germicide
Iodine
2% I2 in H2O + NaI
Iodine Solution
2% I2 in 50% ROH + NaI
Iodine tincture
5% I2 in H20 + KI
Strong Iodine or Lugol’s Solution
very water soluble, non toxic, non volatile, non staining, non irritating
Povidone-Iodine
disinfection of water supplies
Chlorine
active germicidal species formed when chlorine is dissolved in water
Hypochlorous acid HCIO
MOA: chlorination of amide N and oxidation of SH-group
Chlorine
2.5% chlorine + complex coagulant mixture
Chlor-Floc
Clarifies the water of turbidity
Chlor-Floc
uses water disinfection
Halazone
N,N-Dichlorodicarbonamidine (Azochloramid)
Chloroazodin
Use: wound solution, dental carries, lavage, irrigation
Long acting due to slow reaction w/ water
Chloroazodin
Chlorpactin
Oxychlorosene sodium
Combines the germicidal properties HOCl w/ emulsifying, wetting, and keratolytic actions of anionic detergent
Oxychlorosene sodium
Use: rapid cidal action used to treat localized infections, remove necrotic tissues from massive infections
Oxychlorosene sodium
aka Quaternary Ammonium Compounds
Cationic surfactants
polar head and non polar hydrocarbon chain that form micelles
Cationic surfactants
1935: pioneered quats as antimicrobials
Gerhard Domagk
MOA: dissolution of surfactant into the microbial cell membrane, destabilization lysis
Cationic Surfactants
