Domiphen bromide is a cationic active quaternary ammonium salt that inhibits HERG channels, aminopeptidase-like enzymes, Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase, and α-chymotrypsin. It exhibits antibacterial, antimalarial, and disinfectant properties, and acts as a synergist for Colistin. This compound can be utilized as a chemical preservative and cationic surfactant, and is also relevant for research into bacterial infectious diseases such as pharyngitis, thrush, and oral ulcers.
