Dodecylguanidine (Dodine, Cyprex) (N-Dodecylguanidine acetate) 
Studies have shown that dodecylguanidine inhibits oxidation of 
glucose by cells of the fungus (Saccharomyces pastorianus). Other 
studies attribute the toxicity of dodine to the blocking of vital anionic 
Sites at the cell surface and inactivation of enzymes. No metabolites 
have been demonstrated (Brown and Sisler 1960). 
Dyrene (Kemate) (2,4-Dichloro-6-anilino-s-triazine) 
It has been shown that through a metathetic reaction involving the 
ring chlorine, this compound can combine with metabolic intermediates 
containing amino and sulfhydryl groups (Burchfield and Storrs, 1957).
