Benzethonium chloride inhibits nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in human recombinant alpha7 and alpha4beta2 neurons in Xenopus laevis oocytes, which has antibacterial, anticancer, antisepsis and disinfection activity. Benzethonium chloride induced Apoptosis and activated caspases in cancer cell lines. Benzethonium chloride ablates the tumor-forming ability of FaDu cells, delays the growth of xenograft tumors in vivo[1][2][3].
