Abstract

Abstract Loweralkyl substituted diphenyl polyamines are useful antimicrobial agents, as well as algae inhibitors. They are especially useful because of their low toxicity. One particular compound, 1-amino-3-{{3-[4-(1-methylethyl)-phenyl]-1-{2-[4-(methylethyl)-phenyl] ethyl}propyl}amino}-2-propanol, and salts thereof is particularly useful as an udder wash and teat dip for mastitis prevention in lactating cows. Compositions for such use are disclosed.
