Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15889535 https://books.google.ru/books?id=3f-kPJ17_TYC&pg=PA243&lpg=PA243&dq=dichlorobenzyl+alcohol+was+developed&source=bl&ots=KmGpJt-QM6&sig=vgHUtE_8Bv3vWZpbHj4LVuyAPdM&hl=ru&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi5vaW4g9_PAhUoJJoKHfXSAOI4ChDoAQghMAE#v=onepage&q=dichlorobenzyl%20alcohol%20was%20developed&f=false

Dichlorobenzyl alcohol has broad-spectrum activity as an antimicrobial agent and is used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Dichlorobenzyl alcohol has antimicrobial effect against 115 strains of dental plaque. Dichlorobenzyl alcohol inhibited growth of microorganisms but showed highest activity against A. actinomycetemcomitans and Por. gingivalis, organisms related to juvenile and destructive forms of periodontitis. It is a common ingredient in throat lozenges such as Neo angin, Strepsils, Lorsept, and Gorpils. A throat lozenge containing amyl meta cresol and dichlorobenzyl alcohol has a direct virucidal effect on respiratory syncytial virus, influenza A and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV).

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Curator's Comment: 1 tablet contains the active substances: 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol 1.2 mg, 0.6 mg amylmetacresol, levomenthol 5.72 mg and ingredients: oil of anise, peppermint oil, maltitol (lycasin), tartaric acid , cochineal red A (E124).
NEO-Angin. For adults and children over 6 years of age take 1 tablet every 2-3 hours.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
For microbial susceptibility testing dichlorobenzyl alcohol was dissolved in 70% w/v of propylene glycol. It was added to the first medium (see below) by filter sterilization, as a twofold dilution. All strains were anaerobically cultivated in fluid brain-heart infusion (BHI, Difco). Spirochetes were cultivated in BHI supplemented by 15% inactivated rabbit serum, 0.07% Noble agar, and 5 ug/ml of cocarboxylase. Spirochetes were incubated at 37°C for 4 days; all other strains were incubated at 37°C for 2 days. All organisms were approximately equally susceptible to dichlorobenzyl alcohol. The most susceptible strain was the reference strain of A. actinomycetemcomitans, with an MIC of 723 uM. Oral isolates of A. actinomycetemcomitans, C. albicans, Por. gingivalis, and two strains of Tr. socranskii had MIC values of 1,446 uM. MICs for all other strains were 2,892-5,784 uM.
