Zinc pyrithione drug molecule
Zinc pyrithione drug, molecular model. Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: carbon (dark grey), hydrogen (light grey), nitrogen (dark blue) and oxygen (red). Zinc pyrithione is a coordination complex of zinc, where two pyridine-derived molecules are weakly affiliated through a central zinc ion (purple, centre) to form a ligand. It is used as an antifungal and antibacterial agent. Particularly in anti-dandruff hair products, outdoor paints and other products that provide protection against mildew and algae
