Pharmacological action

Tsinokap has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal activity. The antibacterial activity of zinc pyrithione manifests itself in relation to a number of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria: Streptococcus spp, Staphylococcus spp, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus spp.

Pyrithione zinc reduces intracellular ATP levels, promotes depolarization of cell membranes, causing the death of fungi and bacteria. Antifungal activity is especially pronounced when acting on Pityrosporum ovale and Pityrosporum orbiculare, causing inflammation and excessive desquamation during dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis and other skin diseases.

The mechanism of anti-inflammatory action has not been studied.
