Linalool → HCID 86748244, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A culture of E.coli was harvested with sterile saline using swabs. The number of Colony Forming Units (CFUs) per ml in the suspension was determined by Standard Plate Count Method. A working suspension of E. coli with approximately 1.0×107CFUs/ 0.1 ml was then prepared. Four aliquots of 1 ml of test ointment containing 1.0% trioxolane or diperoxide derivative of linalool were removed and place in separate sterile screw-capped tubes. Each sample was inoculated with 0.1 ml of the working suspension of E. coli to yield a final concentration of approximately 1×106 CFUs/1 ml of the product. The samples were stored at 20°-25° C. for a total of 28 days. Samples were selected at 7 day intervals to determine the number of viable CFUs present. A control with uninoculated ointment was also stored with samples selected at the same intervals. At 7 days, and all subsequent sample selections, there were less than 10 CFUs present. No CFUs were present in any control sample.
