Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15162836 and http://datasheets.scbt.com/sc-255083.pdf

Dichlorophene is a halogenated phenolic compound that functions as a bacteriocide and fungicide in cosmetics. Dichlorophene was reported to be used in a total of five cosmetic formulations at concentrations of 0% to 1.0%. Dichlorophen is used in the treatment of tapeworm infestation in man and animals and is the basis of a preparation against athlete’s foot. As a fungicide and bactericide it is recommended for the protection of textiles and materials including horticultural benches and equipment against moulds and algae.

Originator

Curator's Comment: Dichlorophen was shown by Craig and Kleckner (1946) and Brinkner and Platt (1946) to kill and digest tapeworms in the intestine of dogs.
