Abstract
A drug and a composition for inhibiting biofilm formation are provided. A biofilm formation inhibitor composition containing the following component (A): (A) at least one or more selected from compounds represented by Formula (1) to Formula (4): wherein R1 to R5 each represent an alkyl group or the like; EO represents an ethyleneoxy group; p represents an integer from 0 to 5; and m+n represents a number from 0 to 30, or a salt thereof; and (B) a surfactant.
Claims13
A biofilm formation inhibitor composition comprising the following component (A);
- (A) at least one or more selected from compounds represented by Formula (1) and Formula (2):
- wherein R1 and R2, which may be identical or different, each represent an alkyl group or an alkenyl group, which is a straight chain or branched chain having 8 to 14 carbon atoms;
- EO represents an ethyleneoxy group;
- p represents all integer from 0 to 5;
- and m and n are each an average number of added moles, with m+n being a number from 0 to 30;
- or a salt thereof, and
- (B) a surfactant,
- wherein the weight ratio of the component (A) and the component (B), (A)/(B)) is not more than 2.
Use of a composition comprising the following component (A):
- (A) at least one or more selected from the compounds represented by Formula (1) and Formula (2):
- wherein R1 and R2, which may be identical or different, each represent an alkyl group or an alkenyl group, which is a straight chain or branched chain having 8 to 14 carbon atoms;
- EO represents an ethyleneoxy group;
- p represents an integer from 0 to 5;
- and m and n are each an average number of added moles, with m+n being a number from 0 to 30;
- or a salt thereof, and
- (B) a surfactant,
- wherein the weight ratio of the component (A) and the component (B), (A)/(B), is not more than 2,
- as a biofilm formation inhibitor composition.
A biofilm formation inhibitor composition comprising the following component (C):
- (C) at least one or more selected from the group consisting of the compounds represented by Formula (3) and Formula (4):
- wherein R3 and R4, which may be identical or different, each represent an alkyl group or an alkenyl group, which is a straight chain or branched chain having 8 to 14 carbon atoms;
- and R5 represents a hydrogen atom, or a straight chain or branched chain alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
Use of the following component (C):
- (C) at least one or more selected from the group consisting of the compounds represented by Formula (3) and Formula (4):
- wherein R3 and R4, which may be identical or different, each represent an alkyl group or an alkenyl group, which is a straight chain or branched chain having 9 to 14 carbon atoms;
- and R5 represents a hydrogen atom, or a straight chain or a branched chain alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms,
- as a biofilm formation inhibitor.
