Product Data
Biological target:
Dipyrithione is a potent antimicrobial agent.
In vitro activity:
Results showed that PTS2 significantly decreased cell numbers in all 4 cancer cell lines compared with controls, as assessed using trypan blue (Figure 2B). These data indicate that PTS2 can decrease cell viability or proliferation within a suitable concentration range. Reference: BMC Pharmacol Toxicol. 2013 Oct 21;14:54. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24139500/
In vivo activity:
This study determined that dipyrithione could potently inhibit the growth of Trichophyton rubrum, which is the most common cause of dermatophytosis. The MIC50 value of dipyrithione against T. rubrum was measured as 6.03 μM, as compared with miconazole (MIC50: 1.38 μM).
