Popis: The individual constituents of the potent bactericidal agent cetrimide B.P. are among those alkyltrimethylammonium bromides (C 8 through C 18 ). which have been synthesized by classical methods. Each of these quaternary compounds was then emulsified with six (C 8 through C 18 ) fatty alcohols. The bactericidal properties of these emulsions are compared by the critical killing dilution method. When emulsified, only the C 12 and C 14 quaternary compounds exhibited any appreciable bactericidal action. All of the quaternary compounds in the series are inactivated when emulsified with myristyl alcohol.
