Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including http://www.americanpharmaceuticalreview.com/Featured-Articles/38886-Antimicrobial-Preservatives-Part-One-Choosing-a-Preservative-System/ | https://books.google.ru/books?id=EMrSBwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&hl=ru#v=onepage&q&f=false | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9880479 | http://www.medindia.net/doctors/drug_information/cetrimide.htm

Cetrimide is a quaternary ammonium compound. Cetrimide was first introduced as a combined cleanser and skin antiseptic by Barnes (1942). Cetrimide combines excellent detergent properties and minimal toxicity with a useful antiseptic action. Cetrimide affects membrane permeability allowing ‘leaking’ of essential cell constituents leading to cell death. This medication is a skin antiseptic and disinfectant prescribed for seborrhoeic dermatitis and wound cleansing. The cream has a bactericidal activity against gram-positive bacteria and incompatible with soaps and other anionic surfactants.
