REVIEW Triclocarban is a substance with antibacterial and antifungal properties that is used in disinfectants, soaps and other household products. The mechanism of action involves disruption of cellular membranes, and the chemical may also involve inhibition of the enzyme enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (ENR). This enzyme is absent in humans but is essential in building cell membranes of many bacteria and fungi.
