The hydrolysis of sialic acid residues by neuraminidase and the inhibition of G proteins by benzalkonium chloride or pertussis toxin significantly inhibited the secretory response of cutaneous mast cells to neuropeptide Y-(18-36) and mastoparan.

Histamine release induced by compound 48/80, was markedly inhibited by pertussis toxin, cholera toxin, benzalkonium chloride and neuraminidase.

Histamine was released in a nonlytic manner and the mast cell stimulation by both natural and synthetic factors was sensitive to pertussis toxin, neuraminidase, benzalkonium chloride, and to an excess of calcium.

Benzalkonium chloride, a selective inhibitor of histamine secretion induced by basic secretagogues, inhibited the secretory response to methoctramine. [p-Glu5, D-Trp7,9,l0]-SPs5-11 (GPAnt-2), a well-characterized antagonist of G proteins, blocked the methoctramine-induced histamine release when the antagonist was allowed to reach its intracellular target by streptolysin O-permeabilization.
The response to methoctramine was prevented by the hydrolysis of sialic acid residues of the cell surface by neuraminidase.

Both spermine- and arcaine-induced effects were independent upon extracellular calcium and were largely inhibited by treatment of mast cells with pertussis toxin or benzalkonium chloride.
The response to spermine and arcaine was prevented by the hydrolysis of sialic acid residues of the cell surface by neuraminidase, and was restored by permeabilization of the plasma membrane with streptolysine-O, indicating that polyamines act intracellularly.

Unlike that with the calcium ionophore A23187, histamine secretion due to levofloxacin or compound 48/80 was prevented by pretreatment with either pertussis toxin or benzalkonium chloride, a selective inhibitor of G proteins of G (i) subtypes.
Moreover, the histamine release elicited by levofloxacin or compound 48/80 was suppressed by hydrolysis of sialic acid residues on the cell surface brought about by neuraminidase.

4102573 Oxford JS, Potter CW, McLaren C, Hardy W: Inactivation of influenza and other viruses by a mixture of virucidal compounds. Appl Microbiol. 1971 Apr;21(4):606-10.

A mixture of benzalkonium chloride, Triton X100, and citric acid (Resiguard F) had a marked virucidal effect on lipid-containing deoxyribonucleic and ribonucleic acid viruses, such as vaccinia virus, herpesvirus, and influenza virus.
Electron microscopy showed that influenza particles became aggregated in the presence of Resiguard F and that the outer fringe of hemagglutinin and neuraminidase spikes seen in control virus preparations became indistinct.
