Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.drugs.com/pro/phisohex.html | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/570044 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19734050 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/5001202

Hexachlorophene, also known as Nabac, is an organochlorine compound that was once widely used as a disinfectant. The compound occurs as a white odorless solid, although commercial samples can be off-white and possess a slightly phenolic odor. It is insoluble in water but dissolves in acetone, ethanol, diethyl ether, and chloroform. Exact mechanism(s) of action unknown, but at low concentrations appears to interrupt bacterial electron transport and inhibit membrane-bound enzymes. Higher concentrations rupture bacterial membranes. It induces leakage, causes protoplast lysis, and inhibits respiration. In medicine, hexachlorophene is a useful as a topical anti-infective, anti-bacterial agent, often used in soaps and toothpaste. It is also used in agriculture as a soil fungicide, plant bactericide, and acaricide.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Rapid absorption of hexachlorophene may occur with resultant toxic blood levels when preparations containing hexachlorophene are applied to skin lesions such as ichthyosis congenita, the dermatitis of Letterer-Siwe's syndrome, or other generalized dermatological conditions. Application to burns has also produced neurotoxicity and death. Serum concentrations of ≥1 mcg/mL in animals associated with CNS toxicity.

Approved Use

INDICATIONS & USAGE pHisoHex is indicated for use as a surgical scrub and a bacteriostatic skin cleanser. It may also be used to control an outbreak of gram-positive infection where other infection control procedures have been unsuccessful. Use only as long as necessary for infection control (see PRECAUTIONS: Information for Patients).
