KAWALYA STEVEN
Antiseptics and disinfectants
Definition
• Group of agents that are able to inhibit the growth, development or lead
to death of microorganisms in the environment surrounding the patient or
on the surface of the body.
Antiseptics and disinfectants
• Antiseptics -(anti- against; septicas - putrid). used in wounds (skin,
mucous membranes) in the gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract.
• Disinfectants –
• medical instruments, utensils, facilities, equipment, etc.
Antiseptics and disinfectants
• Drawing a sharp line between antiseptics and disinfectants is not
always possible, because many substances used in low
concentrations as antiseptics, and higher - for disinfection
Requirements for antiseptics and
disinfectants.
• Must have a broad spectrum of action;
• Rapid onset of action;
• Should have a small latency period;
• Must be chemically resistant;

SIDE EFFECTS: Dry hands, itchy skin, dermatitis.
• CHLORHEXIDINE is often used as an active ingredient in mouthwash to reduce
dental plaque and oral bacteria.
• It has an immediate bactericidal action and a prolonged bacteriostatic action due
to adsorption onto the pellicle-coated enamel surface.
Oxidizing agents( hydrogen peroxide)
• H2O2 = 2H + O2
molecular form of oxygen that is responsible for antimicrobial effect
• Releasing oxygen makes foam that cleans and deodorizes putrid wounds and
ulcers.

inhibition of thiol enzymes in the tissues.
• Symptoms of poisoning with salts of heavy metals: a chemical burn
of GIT mucosa, the weakening of cardiac activity, kidney and liver
damage.
Heavy metal compounds.

  • 36. Group of dyes Ethacridine lactate (rivanol), Brilliant green, Methylene blue • Antimicrobial activity of this group falls In the protein environment • The most sensitive Gr + bacteria, cocci.
  • 37. Group of dyes Ethacridine lactate (rivanol): - used in surgery, gynecology, urology, ophthalmology, dermatology. For washing of fresh and infected wounds, cavities (pleura, peritoneum), bladder, uterus. Brilliant green (1-2% water and alcohol sol.): - for the treatment of skin with scratches, pyoderma, blepharitis, and others.
  • 38. Group of dyes Methylene blue: - used internally for urinary tract infections (cystitis, urethritis). - In case of poisoning with hydrocyanic acid or salts (in large doses translates hemoglobin to methemoglobin which forms a non-toxic form of cyanide complex cyanmethemoglobin). - To the contrary methylene blue in small doses restores methemoglobin in to hemoglobin (with nitrite poisoning, aniline, and others.)
  • 39. Nitrofuran derivatives (furacillin, furazolidone) • Spectrum of action: Gr-, Gr + bacteria (staphylococci, streptococci, dysentery bacillus, intestinal coli, Salmonella paratyphi, the causative agent of gas gangrene, etc.) and protozoa (Trichomonas, Giardia). • Pharmacodynamic: nitrofuran undergoes reduction by microbes nitro reductase, and they transformation into toxic products for cells which forms covalent bonds with various cellular components such as DNA affecting protein synthesis
  • 40. Nitrofuran derivatives (furacillin, furazolidone) • In the presence of pus does not lose effectiveness. • Apply for external treatment of wounds, skin, mucous membranes, wash serous and joint cavities, otitis media, conjunctivitis and others. Eye diseases and orally for the treatment of bacterial dysentery.
  • 41. Detergents • Detergents - a substances with a high surface activity. • Show antiseptic and cleansing action. • Distinguish anionic and cationic detergents. • Anionic detergents include ordinary soaps (sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids). • As antiseptics mainly used cationic surfactants: benzalkonium chloride, cetylpyridinium chloride, miramistim.
  • 42. Detergents • Benzalkonium chloride • Antibacterial, antiprotozoal, antiviral and antifungal • Used for treatment of skin, mucous membranes, wounds, rinsing the bladder, urethra.
  • 43. Detergents Miramistim • Antiseptic, antiviral, antibacterial agent • Gr-, Gr +, anaerobes, fungi.. Application: used as a 0.01% solution as an antiseptic in dental practice for the treatment of infected wounds, burns, infections of upper respiratory tract, urogenital system, stimulates local non-specific immunity, accelerates regeneration.
  • 44. Detergents Cetylpyridinium chloride in the composition of the drug "Tserigel" is used for hand washing before surgery.
  • 45. QUIZE 1. Why haven’t we discussed the pharmacokinetics of antiseptics and disinfectants? 2. Discuss the following: • Tar, resins, products of petroleum • Antiseptics from medicinal plants
