Commonly used "inactive" pharmaceutical excipients were tested in a previously developed minimum cidal concentration assay to assess their ability to kill Chlamydia trachomatis topically. Sixteen excipients were evaluated in these studies under various conditions. A range of activities was found among the excipients that could be tested in our assay system.
