Benzyldodecyldimethylammonium chloride dihydrate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Benzyldodecyldimethylammonium chloride dihydrate is a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) and can be used as a biocide to target antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), multidrug-resistant (MDR) P. aeruginosa et. al. Benzyldodecyldimethylammonium chloride dihydrate, an antimicrobial agent, bacteriostatic or bactericidal properties depending on the concentration.

Biological Activity
MIC: 20 mg/L (P. fluorescens)[1]
Benzyldodecyldimethylammonium chloride dihydrate (1-10 μM; 2 hours) results in a dose-dependent changes in the percent population of dead rat thymocyte cells[1].Benzyldodecyldimethylammonium chloride dihydrate (0-40 mg/L; 0-24 hours) inhibits P. fluorescens with a MIC of 20 mg/L. At 5 mg/L, cells have the same growth behaviour as the control. At concentrations of 10 and 15 mg/L the growth profile is different from the control, and the cells start to grow only after 8 h of adaptation. At concentrations of ≥20 mg/L, BDMDAC inhibits cell growth[2].Benzyldodecyldimethylammonium chloride dihydrate interacts strongly with cell surfaces in a concentration-dependent manner, and binds by ionic and hydrophobic interactions to microbial membrane surfaces, as manifested by phenomena such as membrane disruption and loss of membrane integrity with consequent leakage of essential intracellular constituents, which promote significant and irreversible changes in the cell structure[2].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.65 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.65 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
