N-Decyl-N,N-dimethyldecan-1-aminium-d₆ chloride  (Synonyms: Didecyldimethylammonium-d₆ chloride; DDAC-d₆)

N-Decyl-N,N-dimethyldecan-1-aminium-d6 (chloride) is a deuterated labeled N-Decyl-N,N-dimethyldecan-1-aminium (chloride)^[1]. N-Decyl-N,N-dimethyldecan-1-aminium chloride (Didecyldimethylammonium chloride) is a dialkyl-quaternary ammonium compound that is used in numerous products for its bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal properties^[2].

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs^[1].
N-Decyl-N,N-dimethyldecan-1-aminium chloride (Didecyldimethylammonium chloride, DDAC) is a broad-spectrum bactericidal and fungicidal biocide that exhibits antimicrobial activity against several pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Legionella pneumophilia, Stachybotrys chartarum and enveloped and non-enveloped viruses^[2].
