  • 2-Mercaptoquinoxaline-1-oxides, salts thereof and 2-(1-oxoquinoxalinyl)disulfides in detergent compositions
    Patent number: 3971725
    Abstract: 2-MERCAPTOQUINOXALINE-1-OXIDES, SALTS THEREOF AND 2-(1-OXOQUINOXALINYL) DISULFIDES ARE USEFUL ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS, ACTIVE AGAINST GRAM-NEGATIVE AND GRAM-POSITIVE BACTERIA AND FUNGI, E.Q., Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus pyogenes var. aureus, Tricophyton mentagrophytes, and Pityrosporum ovale.The antimicrobial compounds are useful alone, usually in aqueous solution, as microbicides or microbistats. They may also be included as constituents of hairdressings or shampoo because they are effective microbicides, even in the presence of oily materials, such as the sebum normally secreted by the human scalp.
