The novel sudden acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is an enveloped virus currently causing severe illness and death worldwide. Common antiseptics such as alcohol have some efficacy in disinfecting everyday surroundings, but development of more effective disinfectants imperative. A series studies focusing on cationic antimicrobials resulted the a safe disinfectant, DEA-171, which provides ≥99.98% inhibition all variants within 1 min.
