What is the mechanism of action of Mioszzi sanitary wet wipes for disinfection?

The mechanism of action of Mioszzi sanitary wet wipes for disinfection is mainly based on the characteristics of the core ingredient benzalkonium chloride, which achieves efficient sterilization by interfering with the structure of microbial cells, destroying the function of cell membranes and affecting cell metabolism. The details are as follows:

• Adsorption and binding

Benzalkonium chloride in Mioszzi sanitary wet wipes is a cationic surfactant with positive charge characteristics. It can adsorb and tightly bind to the cell surface of negatively charged bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. This binding effect is the basis for benzalkonium chloride to exert its disinfection effect.

• Cell membrane destruction

Structural destruction: The benzalkonium chloride molecules in Mioszzi sanitary wet wipes are inserted into the phospholipid bilayer of the microbial cell membrane, destroying its integrity. The cell membrane is an important barrier for microbial cells, responsible for maintaining the stability of the cell's internal and external environment. The insertion of benzalkonium chloride causes the cell membrane structure to be disordered and the permeability to increase.

Loss of function: As the permeability of the cell membrane increases, key substances in the cell, such as potassium ions, proteins, nucleic acids, etc., begin to leak, and external harmful substances may also enter the cell. This imbalance in material exchange causes the cell to be unable to maintain normal physiological functions.

• Protein denaturation

The benzalkonium chloride in Mioszzi sanitary wet wipes can also react with proteins in microbial cells, causing protein denaturation. Protein is the main carrier of cell life activities, and its denaturation will directly affect cell metabolism and function. The combination of benzalkonium chloride and protein may change the spatial structure of the protein, causing it to lose its original biological activity, thereby further inhibiting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms.

• Inhibition of enzyme activity

The enzymes in microbial cells are the key to catalyzing various biochemical reactions. The benzalkonium chloride in Mioszzi sanitary wet wipes can interfere with the activity of these enzymes and block the metabolic pathways of microorganisms. Metabolic obstruction will cause microorganisms to be unable to obtain energy and synthesize necessary cell components, ultimately leading to their death.

• Broad-spectrum bactericidal effect

Benzalkonium chloride in Mioszzi sanitary wet wipes has a killing effect on a variety of microorganisms, including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and some viruses. This broad-spectrum bactericidal effect enables Mioszzi sanitary wet wipes to play an effective disinfecting role on a variety of occasions.
