Chlorhexidine digluconate (20% in water)
Based on 13 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Chlorhexidine digluconate (20% in water) is a orally active cationic antimicrobial agent that targets microbial cell membranes. Chlorhexidine digluconate (20% in water) binds to cell membrane phospholipids non-specifically, destroys membrane structure and induces leakage of cell contents. Chlorhexidine digluconate (20% in water) has broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Chlorhexidine digluconate (20% in water) can interfere with membrane permeability, cause protein precipitation and energy metabolism disorders, such as rapid inhibition of microbial growth and induction of cell death (necrosis or apoptosis).

1. Cell death assay:
Chlorhexidine digluconate (0.000125%-0.016%; 24 h) induces cell death in L929 fibroblasts, inducing a pattern of cell necrosis and/or apoptosis, as well as cell stress. Furthermore, Chlorhexidine digluconate induces apoptosis at lower concentrations and necrosis at higher concentrations, and increases the expression of heat shock protein 70 (a marker of cell stress). Chlorhexidine digluconate may have an adverse effect on the resolution of apical periodontitis[1].
2. Cell viability experiment:
Chlorhexidine digluconate (0.0005%-0.5%; 30 min) causes the death of canine embryonic fibroblasts with concentration of ≥0.013%, while allows the cells to survive with concentration of ≤0.006%[2].
3. Bacterial survival experiment:
Chlorhexidine digluconate (0.0005%-0.5%; 30 min) has a concentration-dependent bactericidal effect on Staphylococcus aureus, and kills Staphylococcus aureus with concentration of ≥0.05%, while allows the bacteria to survive with concentration of ≤0.03%[2].

Cell Line:Chinese hamster ovary cells
-
Concentration:0.00001%, 0.00005%, 0.0001%, 0.0005%
-
Incubation Time:1, 2, 4 h
-
Result:Demonstrated a cytotoxic effect on CHO cells.

Concentration:0.00005%, 0.0001%, 0.0005%
-
Incubation Time:1 h

Result:After a 1 hour treatment, the amount of cell apoptosis was about 1.62%, 5.51%, and 5.47%, respectively.
The amount of cell necrosis was 2.38%, 8.62%, and 22.50%, respectively.
Chlorhexidine (0.125%-1.0%; subcutaneous injection; single dose) digluconate causes toxic effects in the plantar space of the hind paw of Balb/c mice. Concentrations ≥0.5% induces coagulative necrosis of the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissues and neutrophil-dominated inflammatory responses, while concentrations ≤0.25% induces moderate inflammation and interstitial edema[1].
2. Lung inhalation toxicity test:
Chlorhexidine (0.125%-1%; intratracheal instillation; single dose; 8-week observation) digluconate causes collagen fiber deposition and inflammatory cell infiltration in lung tissue in the C57BL/6J mouse model, leading to restrictive ventilation dysfunction. Transcriptome analysis shows that genes related to extracellular matrix deposition and mucus secretion (such as Muc5b and Muc5ac) are upregulated[3].
3. Genetic toxicity test:
0.12% Chlorhexidine dihydrochloride (0.5 mL; oral, twice a day for 8 days) causes DNA damage in peripheral blood and oral mucosal cells of rats, without causing chromosome breakage or loss in erythrocytes[4].

Animal Model:Male Imprinting Control Region (ICR) mice at 6 to 8-wk-old (body weight, 25g)[1]
-
Dosage:Chlorhexidine gluconate 0.05% and 0.025%
-
Administration:One-time intraperitoneal injection
-
Result:With 0.05% lavage had significantly lower incidence of postoperative intra-abdominal abscesses compared with the mice that had saline lavage only.
