Detergents chemical stability

The use of the polyenes for the treatment of systemic infections is limited by the toxicities of the drugs, their low water solubilities, and their poor chemical stabilities. Amphotericin B. the only polyene useful for the treatment of. serious systemic infections, must be solubilized with a detergent. The other polyenes are indicated only as topical agents for superficial fungal infections. 

Examples of uses foi amine oxides include detergent and personal care areas as a foam booster and stabilizer, as a dispersant for glass fibers, and as a foaming component in gas recovery systems. Commercial suppliers of fatty amine oxides include Akzo Chemicals Inc. (Aromox) (73), Jordan Chemical Company (PPG Industries) (fordamox) (78), and Lonza (Badox) (79). 

Cyclohexanol [108-93-0] is a colorless, viscous liquid with a camphoraceous odor. It is used chiefly as a chemical iatermediate, a stabilizer, and a homogenizer for various soap detergent emulsions, and as a solvent for lacquers and varnishes. Cyclohexanol was first prepared by the treatment of 4-iodocyclohexanol with ziac dust ia glacial acetic acid, and later by the catalytic hydrogenation of phenol at elevated temperatures and pressures.
