pharmachologic effect
Activated zinc pyrithione has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal activity.
Antifungal activity is especially pronounced against Pityrosporum ovale and Pityrosporum orbiculare, which cause inflammation and excessive desquamation in skin diseases.
Antibacterial activity is manifested against a number of pathogenic microorganisms Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus spp.
Zinc pyrithione reduces the intracellular ATP level, promotes depolarization of cell membranes, causing the death of fungi and bacteria.
The mechanism of anti-inflammatory action has not been studied.
Pharmacokinetics
When applied topically, zinc pyrithione is deposited in the epidermis and superficial layers of the dermis.
Systemic absorption is slow.
It is found in the blood in trace amounts.
