Description
In Vitro
Zinc pyrithione is considered as a coordination complex of zinc. The pyrithione ligands, which are formally monoanions, are chelated to Zn 2+ via oxygen and sulfur centers. In the crystalline state, zinc pyrithione exists as a centrosymmetric dimer, where each zinc is bonded to two sulfur and three oxygen centers. In solution, however, the dimers dissociate via scission of one Zn-O bond. Zinc pyrithione, which is a dimer but is probably biologically active as a monomer, induces plasma membrane depolarization with half-maximal effect (K1/2) of about 0.3 mM[1].
Zinc Pyrithione (10 nM-10 μM; 72 hours) significantly induces cell death in AAVS1 cells[2].

Fully mature GV stage oocytes were co-cultured with different concentrations (0, 0.8, 1.4, 2.0 µM) of ZPT for 14 hours. Most oocytes in the control group and the 0.8 µM ZPT (Zinc Pyrithione) treatment group reached maturity and formed the first polar body (a representative oocyte marked with a triangle).
