The Electroreduction of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds

Analysis of multiple quaternary ammonium compounds in the brain using tandem capillary column separation and high resolution mass spectrometric detection.

Endogenous quaternary ammonium compounds are involved in various physiological processes in the central nervous system. In the present study, eleven quaternary ammonium compounds, including acetylcholine, choline, carnitine, acetylcarnitine and seven other acylcarnitines of low polarity, were analyzed from brain extracts using a two dimension capillary liquid chromatography-Fourier transform ma...

N , N , N - triethyl ammonium L - Phenylalanine esters as potential antimicrobial agents

Quaternary ammonium compounds are an important class of molecules with wide variety of applications, mainly in the antimicrobial field. Quaternary ammonium compounds have the ability to bind with the anionic moiety of phospholipids of the bacterial membrane, disrupting the cell membrane of the microorganisms. However, classical quaternary ammonium salts can have adverse effects on the environme...

Are Quaternary Ammonium Antibacterials Suitable for Dental Composite Resins?

The objective of this study was to answer the following question: are quaternary ammonium antibacterials suitable for dental materials? Reviewing the literature on quaternary ammonium compounds evidenced that this type of compounds is soluble in water. Our own findings also showed that they are well soluble in water and that their application as dental composites requires to check their solubil...
