- Zinc pyrithione is a
chemical compound used as an antifungal and antibacterial agent. Zinc
pyrithione is approved for over-the-counter topical use in the United
States as a treatment for dandruff. It is the active ingredient in
several anti-dandruff shampoos such as Head & Shoulders.
- The effectiveness of
pyrithione zinc is well-established, but as with many modern medicines
that have evolved from time-tested remedies, the way the drug actually
works is less clear.
- If zinc pyrithione
is used as a preservative in cosmetic and hygiene products the total
proportion can be no more than 0,5 %. zinc pyrithione has also started
to be used as an active substance in boat hull paint.
- Topical zinc
pyrithione appears to be a safe and effective treatment for psoriasis.
An aerosol preparation of zinc pyrithione (0.25%) in a vehicle
containing isopropyl myristate appears to be a safe and effective
treatment for psoriasis.
- Zinc pyrithione was
found to be negative in mutation tests in bacteria and Chinese hamster
ovary cells. Similarly, no chromosomal aberration was observed in human
lymphocytes incubated in vitro in the presence of zinc pyr ithione or in
lymphocytes harvested from monkeys.
- The mineralization
of 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-on (DCOI) and zinc pyrithione
was examined in laboratory tests with marine coastal sediments.
- Zinc pyrithione has
been used as a booster biocide in antifouling paints of ships. For its
environmental risk assessment, a direct analyzing technique of zinc
pyrithione has been developed using HPLC-MS without transforming to
other substances.
- There was a focus to
extend for the first time the analytical utility of SPE and LC-MS
technique for the isolation and identification of ZnPT Photolytic
transformation products.
- According to one
investigation in general stores and on the Internet to try and identify
which dandruff shampoos contain zinc pyrithione. In this investigation,
five different brands of dandruff shampoo containing zinc pyrithione are
sold in general stores.
- In active
ingredients, OBPA has the largest global market share, with more than
one third of formulated biocide volume, estimates Townsend.
Isothiazalone biocides such as OIT, DCOIT, and n-butyl-1,
2-benzisothiazolin (BBIT) together hold another one - third or more of
the market. Other organic biocide include zinc omadine, 3-iodo - 2-
propynyl butyl carbamate (IBPC), 2,4,4' - trichloro - 2' - trichloro -
2'-hydroxy - diphenyl ether , tri - butyl tin, and 2,4 - thizole
benxamidizol.
