Standards for nonprescription germ killers

Authors: Hecht A

Author Address: FDA, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857

Source: FDA Consum.; VOL 12 ISS Jul-Aug 1978, P15-17, (REF )

Abstract: The Food and Drug Administration's tentative standards for a variety of over-the-counter drugs that are used to kill germs on the skin are discussed including 5 ingredients, hexylresorcinol, benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride, methylbenzethonium chloride, and poloxamer 188 which have been found safe and effective for cleansing superficial skin wounds. The standards are based largely on the work of an advisory panel whose findings led to the banning of hexachlorophene, tribromsalan, and fluorosalan [synonym for Fluorophene]

Potential salicylamide antiplaque agents: in vitro antibacterial activity against Actinomyces viscosus.

Coburn RA, Batista AJ, Evans RT, Genco RJ.

A series of 55 salicylamides, including 3,5-dibromo-, 5-n-alkyl-, and 5-n-acylsalicyloyl derivatives of various anilines, heterocyclic amines, benzylamines, and alkylamines, was synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity against Actinomyces viscosus, an adherent oral microorganism implicated in periodontal disease. The in vitro minimum inhibitory concentrations of 15 4'-bromosalicylanilides were found to correlate (r = 0.92) with estimated log D values. Several nonhalogenated salicylanilides, such as 5-n-hexyl- (40) and 5-n-decanoyl-4'-nitrosalicylanilide (47), were found to exhibit higher levels of in vitro antibacterial activity against a number of Actinomycetes than did tribromsalan (1) or fluorophene (2).
