| Bioactivity | Olanexidine is an antibacterial agent. Olanexidine is active against a wide range of bacteria, imcluding both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria Olanexidine is also an antiseptic. Olanexidine can be used in the research of infection and inflammation[1][2][3]. |
| Invitro | Olanexidine (50 μM, 48 h) exhibits broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against Gram-positive cocci and Gram-negative bacteria[1].Olanexidine (50 μg/mL, 24 h) inhibits chronic inflammatory reactions in oral mucosal cells[2].Olanexidine (Olanexidine gluconate, 0-15000 μg/mL) inhibits the binding ability of virus-like particles to the binding receptor of human norovirus and increases the aggregation of virus-like particles[3].
