7-Chloro-4-indanol in concentrations of 1:1,000–1:3,000 is rapidly lethal to vegetative bacteria, Trichophyton sp., C. albicans, E. histolytica cysts and trophozoites, T. vaginalis , and spermatozoa in vitro . Systemic toxicity is low; it is well tolerated by skin, eyes, genital mucosa; it is nonallergenic; it appears to be suitable for use as. topical antiseptic or sanitizer.
