Effect of seven structurally similar N, N-dimethyl-(4-hydroxyaryl)alkylammonium chlorides in the presence and in the absence of hydrogen peroxide on the survival of E. coli cells AB1157 and its isogenic strain BH910 defective in genes of repair enzymes has been analyzed. Among the studied compounds only chloride of N,N-dimethyl-(3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)ammonium (C1) has no cytotoxic properties and increases the survive of the cells of both strains in the presence of H2O2 better than trolox (water soluble analog of alpha-tocopherol).
