The molecule CSPD has the following functional groups in the structure: phosphate group, phenyl group, spiro group, methyl ether group, and chlorine group. The ones worth noting are the ones above. None of these groups carry a charge. If there was a charge this would have had a change in the compound's pH, 3D structure, mass and bond angles. 
The toxin CSPD effect persister cell formation using MqsR (MqsR, a crucial regulator for quorum sensing and biofilm formation, is a GCU-specific mRNA interferase in Escherichia coli) and persister cells are cells that avoid stress and are characterized by reduced metabolism and other factors.
