Overview
Didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) is a quaternary ammonium compound widely used as an antiseptic and disinfectant. It acts as a broad-spectrum biocidal agent against bacteria and fungi by disrupting intermolecular interactions and dissociating lipid bilayers in microbial cell membranes. Its bacteriostatic or bactericidal activity depends on concentration and the growth phase of the target microorganisms. DDAC is commonly used for surface disinfection in hospitals, hotels, industries, gynecology, surgery, ophthalmology, pediatrics, sterilization of surgical instruments and endoscopes. It is also found in veterinary disinfectants. Mechanistically, it targets microbial cell membranes leading to their disruption[1][2][3][7].
