Food-grade antimicrobials potentiate the antibacterial activity of 1,2-hexanediol

Abstract: The antimicrobial activity of 1,2-hexanediol against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria was potentiated with food-grade antimicrobials including xanthorrhizol, macelignan, panduratin A and octyl gallate, which have already been reported to display anti-inflammatory and other beneficial activities related to cosmetics. Therefore, the combination of 1,2-hexanediol and these food-grade antimicrobial agents would have benefits not only for increasing the antimicrobial activity but also in cosmetics use.

“…34 Decanediol elicits antimicrobial activity by depolarizing cytoplasmic membranes and disrupting P acnes cell membranes through the aliphatic alcohol of its chemical structure. 35 It also acts on the P acnes biofilm by inhibiting new biofilm formation and degrading the mature biofilm. 36 Thus, this might be a promising agent for acne treatment, as it specifically targets the causative bacteria.…”

“…There is only limited information in the literature regarding its action on the skin and its ability to act as a penetration enhancer has not been established. Duracher et al (2009) HEX is a solvent commonly used as a preservative in personal care products because of its antibacterial properties (Yogiara et al, 2015). Given its chemical structure, it might be assumed that, as for other 1,2 glycols, HEX is likely to penetrate the skin and increase permeant solubility in the SC.…”

“…When macelignan was combined with miconazole, each compensated the other’s weakness, showing a synergistic effect. Macelignan, as a food-grade antimicrobial compound, would minimally influence the eco-system ( 40 ) and could be a good candidate for the treatment of bee diseases caused by microorganisms. However, macelignan is not inexpensive enough to be solely used compared with miconazole.…”
