Introduction: Nowadays, the study of biological safety of modern cationic surface-active antiseptics with a wide antimicrobial spectrum has acquired particular importance. The aim was to study antimicrobial effectiveness of antiseptics decamethoxin, miramistin and their influence on nuclear DNA fragmentation and cellular cycle. Materials and methods: A comparative microbiological study of antimicrobial efficacy and a cytometric study of the effect of decamethoxin 0,02% and miramistin 0,01% on the cellular cycle were carried out. Antimicrobial activity of decamethoxin and miramistin was estimated by their minimal inhibitory and minimal microbicidal concentrations against opportunistic microorganisms using serial double dilution technique. Decamethoxin and miramistin cytotoxicity on anterior corneal epithelial cells, after their two-week daily instillation into the eyes of a Vistar line male rats was studied using flow cytometry. The parameters of epithelial cellular cycle, nuclear DNA fragmentation and apoptosis under the influence of antiseptics were registered. Results: High antimicrobial effect of decamethoxin and miramistin against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria with the significant advantages of decamethoxin were found (р0.05). But the use of miramistin resulted in the significant increase of nuclear DNA fragmentation, decrease of proliferative activity (р<0,05).
