[BMIM]Cl
Based on 1 Customer Validation
[BMIM]Cl (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride) is an alkyl-imidazolium chloride compound and a persistent aquatic pollutant. [BMIM]Cl exhibits antimicrobial activity against S. aureus (MIC = 25 mM), E. coli (MIC = 50 mM), and P. aeruginosa (MIC = 100 mM). It possesses moderate membrane permeability and cytotoxicity, directly affecting microorganisms and mammalian cells at high concentrations, but can inhibit the function of complex ecosystems (e.g., anaerobic digestion) even at environmentally relevant low concentrations by disrupting microbial community structures. [BMIM]Cl can be used in research related to bacterial infections.
