Glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound that has been widely used as a disinfectant and in wastewater treatment. It is mainly used to kill bacteria and viruses, although it can also be used to remove hazardous material from water. Glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride has the ability to inhibit bacterial growth by causing cell membrane damage. This compound is also able to inhibit the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein in cells by binding to their respective building blocks. In addition, glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride has cytotoxic effects on human cells and significantly inhibits the replication of oral pathogens.
