Definitions

  • disinfectant compositions are now well-known, the great majority of which are aqueous solutions or emulsions of phenolic compounds.
  • known disinfectants suffer from a variety of drawbacks, among which may be mentioned selective action against only certain organisms, reduction in efficiency by organic matter or some specific inhibitor, high tom'city, corrosive action on the skin or mucous membrane, production of scum when diluted in hard or brackish waters or reduction of efficiency therein and immiscibility with sea water.
  • the disinfectant compositions according to the invention are aqueous solutions essentially containing the following phenols in the proportions by weight stated:
  • compositions according to the invention further preferable contain alkali-metal or ammonium ions to increase the solubility of the phenols present.
  • the pH of the compositions preferably does not exceed 11.
  • a convenient quantity of alkali metal (preferably sodium) or ammonium ions is from 02-29% by weight (calculated as alkali metal or ammonium hydroxide).
  • a preferred composition according to the invention comprises an aqueous solution, having a phenol content equivalent to 16% of p-chlor-m-cresol, 0.55% of ophenyl phenol, 0.55% of an alkali metal salt, preferably sodium salt of o-phenyl phenol, 0.55% of o-benzyl-pchlorphenol and from 15% of an alkali metal salt, preferably sodium salt of a polychlorphenol.
  • compositions according to the invention have a range of action against gram positive and gram negative bacteria, fungi and fungal and bacterial spores substantially greater than disinfectant compositions hitherto proposed.
  • known disinfectant compositions whilst active against certain organisms, have failed against other important organisms.
  • the compositions according to the invention have, however, been found to be very effective against most, if not all, of the micro-orgam isms which it is desired to combat, for example, in hospitals.
  • compositions according to the invention besides being active against such common organisms as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyo genes and Pseudomorms pyocyaneus, are highly effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and various sporulating organisms as well as many pathogenic fungi. tshould ice be pointed out that, in the compositions according to the invention, both the nature of the phenolic ingredients used different proportions do not possess the same wide range of action as do the compositions according to the invention.
  • the compositions according to the invention are'also generally effective in the presence of various kinds of organic matter.
  • compositions according to the invention preferably also contain from '0.55% of p-chlor-m-xylenol, which component has been found to enhance the biocidal-activity of the composition, particularly against gram negative bacteria.
  • compositions according to the invention further preferably contain a water-miscible (or partially watermiscible) alcohol for the purpose of further aiding the solubility of the phenols thereby reducing risk of precipitation on dilution with, for example, hard or brackish water.
  • a water-miscible (or partially watermiscible) alcohol for the purpose of further aiding the solubility of the phenols thereby reducing risk of precipitation on dilution with, for example, hard or brackish water.
  • Alcohols containing from 1-4 carbon atoms are very satisfactory, examples of which are methanol, ethanol, propanol, iso-propanol, iso-butanol, etc; a concentration of from 5-25 of alcohol has been found to be advantageous.
  • compositions according to the invention further preferably contain a compatible surface. active agent.
  • Anionic surface active agents are particularly useful and examples of such substances are alkyl sulphate salts, such as sodium lauryl sulphate, mixed alkyl aryl sulphatesalts and various sulphonated oils, e.g. sulphonated castor oil.
  • the detergents sold as Teepol, Comprox and Iranapol have been found to be very satisfactory.
  • the preferred polychlorphenols for use in the compositions according to the invention are tri-, tetraand pentachlorphenol.
  • compositions according to the invention may be formulated in any convenient way.
  • the parent phenols may be conveniently mixed with water, alcohol and surface active agent, and the necessary quantity of alkali metal or ammonium hydroxide may be added to give the desired proportion of alkali metal or ammonium ions.
  • one or more of the phenols may be added as their salts.
  • compositions according to the invention are those equivalent to the following composition.
  • composition according to the above-mentioned example has the following properties:
  • Germicidal Test Results Using E. coli, Ps. pyocyaneus, Proteus vulgaris and S. aureus in a series of suspension tests conducted at 18 C., a 0.5 soln. of the composition in hard water killed all the test organisms in less than 2 /2 mins. Similar tests performed in the presence of 20% blood serum, 20% skimmed milk or 1% linseed oil soap soln. again showed complete destruction of the organisms by a 2% dilution in less than 2 /2 mins.
  • Linen strips infected with the dried test organisms are sterilised in 30 mins. at 18 C. by a 3% soln. of the composition, even in the presence of 1% linseed oil soap soln.
  • Trichomonas vaginalis a solution of 1 part of the composition of the example in 700 parts of water destroyed the parasite, in organic medium, within 5 minutes at 36.
  • Tests were performed in distilled water (W) and blood serum (S) by the Rideal-Walker (R.W.) (B.S.S. 541:1934) and Food and Drug Administration of the United States (F.D.A.) methods.
  • T uberculocidal Tests Concentration required to kill M. tuberculosis (human strain) in less than 5 mins.
  • F ungieidal Tests Concentration required to kill T rich. inderdigitale in less than 5 mins.
  • Composition A Composition B p-chlor-m-cresol o-phenyl-phenol 1 sodium o-phenylphenate o-benzyl-p-ehlorphenol p-chlor-rn-xylenoL 1 5 sodium pentachlorphenate 2.0% 4.0%.
  • compositions A and B as shown in the above table are conveniently prepared by dissolving the parent phenols the required amount of water, alcohol and surface active agent, followed by the addition of the necessary quantity of caustic soda equivalent to the sodium salts referred to.
  • a disinfectant composition comprising an aqueous solution containing from 16% by weight of a first phenolic compound selected from the group consisting of p-chlor-m-cresol and its alkali metal and ammonium salts, from 0.540% of a second phenolic compound selected from the group consisting of o-phenyl-phenol and its alkali metal and ammonium salts, from 0.55% of a third phenolic compound selected from the group consisting of o-benzyl-p-chlorphenol and its alkali metal and ammonium salts and from l5% of a fourth phenolic compound selected from the group consisting of pentachlorphenol and alkali metal and ammonium salts of said fourth phenolic compound.
