Description | Chlorhexidine Gluconate is the gluconate salt form of chlorhexidine, a biguanide compound used as an antiseptic agent with topical antibacterial activity. Chlorhexidine gluconate is positively charged and reacts with the negatively charged microbial cell surface, thereby destroying the integrity of the cell membrane. Subsequently, chlorhexidine gluconate penetrates into the cell and causes leakage of intracellular components leading to cell death. Since gram positive bacteria are more negatively charged, they are more sensitive to this agent. |
Function | Chlorhexidine gluconate has quick bactericidal effect, non corrosive to metal and fabric, slight influence by organic matter, good stability and so on. Toxicological tests on animals showed that the Chemicalbook venom had no prickling effect on skin mucosa. Acute oral toxicity in rats was actually non-toxic. There was no micronucleus effect on mouse bone marrow polychromophilic erythrocytes. In the subacute toxicity test, no toxic effect was observed in each dose group. |
