Cetalkonium chloride is an ammonium antiseptic agent used in many topical agents for infections of the mouth, throat, and eye. It acts as an anti-inflammatory amphiphilic agent and a cationic surfactant that improves the precorneal residence time and bioavailability of drugs. It interacts with negative charges on the bacterial cell membrane, disrupting its integrity, causing leakage of cell contents, and ultimately leading to bacterial death.
