Dimethoxane
Dimethoxane is an antibacterial agent and an orally active oncogen. Dimethoxane exerts slow bactericidal action against various bacteria, rapid bacteriostatic action that halts bacterial growth, and does not induce bacterial lysis. Dimethoxane induces multiple tumor formation in rats. Dimethoxane functions as a low-toxicity preservative in cosmetic formulations and controls spoilage microorganisms in aqueous systems, emulsions, and suspensions.
