| Name | Chloroxylenol |
| Description | Chloroxylenol (PCMX) (4-chloro-3, 5-dimethylphenol), a broad spectrum antimicrobial chemical compound, is used to control virus, bacteria, fungi, and algae. It is used in households and hospitals for sanitation and disinfection. |
| In vitro | Chloroxylenol is inactivated by hard water[1]. It is used in hospitals and households for disinfection and sanitation. It is also commonly used in antibacterial soaps, wound-cleansing applications and household antiseptics such as Dettol liquid, cream and ointments. Its antibacterial action is due to disruption of cell membrane potentials[2]. |
