Description

Octylguanidine is a cationic surfactant with antimicrobial and antiviral properties. It is a synthetic compound that can be synthesized through various methods, including the reaction of octylamine with cyanamide. Octylguanidine has been shown to be effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It is also known to disrupt cell membranes, leading to cell death. Octylguanidine is being studied for its potential applications in various fields, including healthcare, agriculture, and food preservation. The compound has shown promise as an antiseptic agent, a disinfectant, and a food preservative. However, further research is needed to evaluate its safety and efficacy for these applications.'
