Composition with virucidal activity, use and application thereof

Abstract

Increasingly, infectious diseases due to viruses, bacteria, fungi and other contact-transmissible microorganisms, droplets and/or aerosols, are acquiring greater importance due to globalisation and the ease of dissemination between very distant countries. A characteristic example is the Influenza A pandemic in 2009 and the SARS pandemics due to the SARS-Cov virus in 2003 and the COVID-19 pandemic due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus in 2020. To combat infections that may occur by contact, or by aerosolised drops (including those surfaces contaminated with infectious agents), a wider palette of antimicrobials and virucides is required. The present invention resolves this problem for viral infections with the use of a low toxicity surfactant from the group of trimethylammonium methyl sulfates.
