Pyridinium Salts
(Composition & Industrial Uses)
INTRODUCTION
Pyridinium salts fall under the category of cationic surfactants
Chemical industries have been using cationic surfactants in several applications for a long time now
Surfactant facilitates in lowering the tension between two surfaces (either two liquids, or a solid and liquid)
This chemical compound has found its way into medical field as well
BASIC COMPOSITION
They are unsaturated heterocyclic compounds
Heterocyclic compounds have a ring structure with a minimum of two different elements as its members
Pyridine salts have different element or functional group present on their ring or at the Nitrogen atom
Pyridinium salts have a basic composition of Pyridinium Chloride (C5H6ClN)
APPLICATIONS
The two most important properties of a Pyridine salt which make them valuable for specialty chemical manufacturers are CMC (Critical Micelle Concentration) and surface tension
Used as effective disinfectants and germicides
The disinfectant property offers usage in medicinal applications for production of solutions like eye drops and foams
DERIVATIONS
Butyl Pyridinium Chloride (C9H14ClN)
Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (C21H38NCl)
Lauryl Pyridinium Chloride (C17H32ClNO)
Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC)
CPC is one of the popular Pyridinium salts used as an antiseptic to kill bacteria and microorganisms
Molecular formula C21H38NCL
At room temperature CPC is found to be in solid state
Melting point 77 degree Celsius in anhydrous form
Soluble in water, but not in acetone, acetic acid or ethanol
Applications of CPC
Protection of poultry against bacterial contamination
It is used in dentistry as an anti-plaque agent in chewing gums
Ground water cleaning by removal of pollutants like arsenic and perchlorate from it
It is present in various toothpastes and mouthwashes
Prevents gingivitis (a disease that occurs around teeth)
Applications of CPC (continued..)
Many throat, breath and nasal sprays use CPC
CPC is an active ingredient in several pesticides
Used as bactericidal surfactant for skin, wounds, mucous membranes, and instruments
Cetylpyridinium chloride is found in commercial products like 1-palmitylpyridinium chloride, cetafilm, cepacol, ipanol, medilave, merothol, pyrisept, and asept
