Supplier:  Apexbio Technology LLC B16955.1

Chlorhexidine HCl (CAS 3697-42-5) is an antiseptic agent designed to interact with microbial cell membranes thereby increasing membrane permeability and disrupting membrane integrity Chlorhexidine HCl exerts its biological activity primarily through binding to negatively charged surfaces of bacterial membranes resulting in leakage of cellular contents and consequent microbial cell death In microbiological assays chlorhexidine HCl demonstrates broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity with reported IC50 values against various microbial strains generally in the micromolar concentration range though specific values depend on the target organism and experimental conditions Based on these pharmacological properties chlorhexidine HCl holds research potential in antimicrobial susceptibility testing and as a control compound in comparative studies of novel antimicrobial agents
