Biological target:
Antifungal.
In vitro activity:
With increasing piroctone olamine (PO) concentrations, the inhibition rates of collagen matrix degradation and the mineral loss were increased. Moreover, there was a positive statistical correlation between mineral loss and collagen matrix degradation, demonstrating that preservation of the collagen matrix would contribute to inhibiting acid demineralization. While the spectroscopic measurements indicated that PO possessed binding to these substances, PO exerted its inhibitory action primarily on the collagenolytic activity.

In vivo activity:
The antifungal activity of piroctone olamine in the treatment of intra-abdominal candidiasis was evaluated in an experimental model using Swiss mice. The mice (n = 6) were infected by intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 ml of C. albicans (107cells/ml in saline). The animals were observed daily for clinical signs and mortality for 14 days. The treatment with piroctone olamine (0.5 mg/kg) was performed 72 h after infection by intraperitoneal administration. The mycological diagnosis was made by collecting the liver, spleen and kidneys. Data regarding the fungal growth and mortality were analyzed statistically by Student’s t test and analysis of variance (ANOVA), with level of significance set at P < 0.05. The difference in fungal growth scoring between the control group and the treatment group (piroctone olamine) was statistically significant (P < 0.05).
