Polynoxylin and noxythiolin (Anaflex and Noxyflex) have been recommended for the treatment of certain bacterial infections. Both compounds were shown to release formaldehyde. Detailed studies with noxythiolin showed that it decomposed in solution to liberate most of its formaldehyde, and that solutions of formaldehyde of the appropriate strength gave zones of inhibition on seeded plates comparable in size with those given by noxythiolin. It is suggested that the effects observed with these compounds are caused by the formaldehyde released.
聚羟甲酚和硝羟喹啉(Anaflex和Noxyflex)已被推荐用于治疗某些细菌感染。这两种化合物都被证明会释放甲醛。对硝羟喹啉的详细研究表明,它在溶液中分解以释放大部分甲醛,并且适当强度的甲醛溶液在接种平板上产生的抑菌圈大小与硝羟喹啉产生的抑菌圈相当。有人认为,观察到的这些化合物的作用是由释放的甲醛引起的。
