Description

Hexyltrimethylammonium (HTMA) is a quaternary ammonium compound with a hexyl chain and three methyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom. It is typically synthesized through the reaction of hexyl bromide with trimethylamine. HTMA exhibits surfactant properties and is known for its antimicrobial activity. It is studied for its potential applications as a biocide, disinfectant, and in the development of new drug delivery systems. Its antimicrobial activity is attributed to its ability to disrupt cell membranes and interfere with bacterial growth. Research explores its efficacy against various bacteria and its potential for use in wound healing and other medical applications.'
