Abstract
In response to the current pandemic situation, we present the development of an effective virucidal and biocidal solution to prevent from the spread of infectious diseases through contact with contaminated surfaces. The disinfectants, based on equimolar mixtures of didecyldimethylammonium chloride ([DiC10][Cl]), dodecyloctaglycol (C12E8), and cyclodextrin (CD), show synergistic effects against enveloped viruses (RSV, HSV-1, VACV) and fungi (C. albicans), and additive responses against bacteria (P. aeruginosa). These synergistic mixtures could then be highly helpful for prevention of respiratory illnesses, since a boosted activity allows: (i) a faster eradication of pathogens, (ii) a shorter contact time, and (iii) a complete and broad-spectrum eradication to avoid spread of resistant strains (including bacteria and fungi).
