Antimicrobial and cytolytic activity of N,N-dimethyl-l-methyldodecylamine oxide
Abstract
N,N-Dimethyl-l-methyldodecylamine oxide inhibited the growth of bacteria, yeast and filamentous fungi; further it induced lysis of osmotically stabilized protoplasts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human erythrocytes. This effect is based evidently on a change in the organization and function of cell membranes.
