How to use
In Vitro:
Piroctone olamine, the ethanolamine salt of the hydroxamic acid derivative Piroctone, is a hydroxypyridone anti-mycotic agent. Piroctone olamine penetrates the cell membrane and forms complexes with iron ions, inhibiting energy metabolism in mitochondria. Piroctone olamine (PO) is an ethanolamine salt of the hydroxamic acid derivative Piroctone. All Candida strains show low minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for Piroctone olamine (0.125-0.5 μg/mL) and Amphotericin B (AMB) (0.03-1 μg/mL).
In Vivo:
This work aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of Piroctone olamine in the treatment of intra-abdominal candidiasis in an experimental model using Swiss mice. The treatment with Piroctone olamine (0.5 mg/kg) is performed 72 h after infection by intraperitoneal administration. For comparison, a group of animals (n=6) is treated with Amphotericin B (0.5 mg/kg). The mycological diagnosis is made by collecting the liver, spleen and kidneys. Data regarding the fungal growth and mortality are analyzed statistically by Student’s t test and analysis of variance, with level of significance set at P<0.05. The difference in fungal growth scoring between the control group and the treatment groups (Piroctone olamine and Amphotericin B) is statistically significant (P<0.05).
