GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS
Disinfectant is an agent applied to inanimate objects to destroy, neutralize, or inhibit the growth of disease-carrying microorganisms, (whereas antiseptics are applied primarily to living things). Heat and radiation are also disinfectants. Common ingredients of chemical disinfectant are:
  • Mercuric Chlorides
  • Formaldehyde
  • 8-Hydroxyquinoline
  • Copper Hydroxide
  • Cresol
  • Alcohols (Ethyl Alcohol; Isopropyl Alcohol)
  • Iodines / Iodophors
  • Chlorine releasing compounds
  • Gluteraldehyde
  • Phenolics
  • Quaternary Ammonium Compounds

Copper quinolate is used in formulating antiseptics, deodorants, antiperspirants and fungicides. The biological property of copper compounds takes important role in as fungicides in agriculture and biocides in antifouling paints for ships and wood preservations. Very low level of copper is toxic to fungi and algae but the levels for mammal is much higher. The copper ions inhibit the metabolism of the fungus when they react with sulfur containing enzymes in the plant. Copper compounds form a protective barrier on the plant surface and thereby prevent fungi from entering the plant host. The fungicidal effect of copper compounds as non-systemic fungicides are such as bordeaux mixture, cupric hydroxide, copper arsenate, copper carbonate, cuprous oxide,  copper-8-quinolinolate, copper oleate, copper sulfate, or copper oxychloride. Another important biocide application of copper compounds, such as copper sulfide is as an antifouling agent in paints.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF QUINOLINE

Quinoline, 1-azanaphthalene, is an aromatic nitrogen compound characterized by a double-ring structure contains a benzene fused to pyridine at two adjacent carbon atoms. (Pyridine is a ring structure compound of five carbon atoms with a nitrogen atom). Quinoline itself is the simplest member of the quinoline. It is a hygroscopic, yellowish oily liquid; slightly soluble in water, soluble alcohol, ether, carbon disulfide and readily in many organic solvents. It can be obtained by the distillation of coal tar. Quinoline can be prepared from aniline with acrolein under heated sulfuric acid (Skraup synthesis). Various quinoline compounds can be prepared by Skraup synthesis series of different oxidizing agents. Isoquinoline differs from quinoline in nitrogen position (at 2). Quinoline family compounds are widely used as a parent compound to make drugs (especially anti-malarial medicines), fungicides, biocides, alkaloids, dyes, rubber chemicals and flavoring agents. They have antiseptic, antipyretic, and antiperiodic properties. They are also used as catalyst, corrosion inhibitor, preservative, and as solvent for resins and terpenes. They are used in transition-metal complex catalyst chemistry for uniform polymerization and luminescence chemistry. They are used as antifoaming agent in refinery field. Quinaldine, 2-methylquinoline, is used as an anti-malaria and preparing other anti-malaria drugs. It is used in manufacturing oil soluble dyes, food colorants, pharmaceuticals, pH indicators and other organic compounds. Quinaldic Acid is a carboxylic acid substituted quinoline at 2 position, a catabolite of tryptophan (aromatic side chain amino acid). Quinazoline, diazanaphthalene at 1,3 positions, is used as a chemical intermediate for making medicines and other organic compounds. It is a fundamental structure in some antihypertensive agents such as prazosin and doxazosin which are peripheral vasodilator. Quinoxaline, diazanaphthalene at 1,4 positions, is used as a chemical intermediate for making fungicides and other organic compounds.
