Bioactivity | Dipyrithione is a potent antimicrobial agent. Dipyrithione shows antifungal activity and antiproliferative activity. Dipyrithione induces apoptosis and cycle arrest at G1 phase. Dipyrithione shows anti-inflammatory activity in vivo. Dipyrithione shows anti-tumor activity. Dipyrithione has the potential for the research of dermatophytosis[1][2][3]. |
Invitro | Dipyrithione (20 μg/mL) shows antifungal activity with MIC values of 6.03 µM for Trichophyton rubrum[1].Dipyrithione (72 h) shows cytotoxic activity against 293 T cells with an IC50 value of 0.22 µM[1].Dipyrithione (1-5 µM; 8.5 h) inhibits LPS (100 ng/ml)-induced up-regulation of iNOS and COX-2 in RAW264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner[2].Dipyrithione (1 µM; 8.5 h) suppresses LPS-induced increase of iNOS but not COX-2 mRNA level, inhibits LPS-increased NO production[2].Dipyrithione (3 µM; 2, 5 h) decreases phosphorylation of STAT1 induced by LPS and does not influence LPS-induced MAPK and NF-κB activation in RAW 246.7 cells[2].Dipyrithione (0-5 μg/mL; 48 h) shows antiproliferative activity for KB, 231, U937 and K562 cells in a dose dependent manner[3].Dipyrithione (2.5 μg/ml) induces apoptosis and cycle arrest at G1 phase[3].
