Zinc caprylate

Zinc is used for a variety of indications. Zinc acetate (8.102) or, rarely, zinc sulfate (8.103) have been used orally to treat Wilson s disease, a recessively inherited disorder of copper metabolism, characterized by brain and liver dysfunction arising from excessive deposits of copper. Zinc pyrithione (8.104) is used in shampoos to treat seborrhea. Zinc propionate (8.105) and zinc caprylate (8.106) have been used as topical antifungal agents.

For example, in South Ohio, Folpet showed excellent data in the natural environment, and practically no activity in the ASTM D 3273 test copper thiocyanate and zinc caprylate, on the contrary, showed excellent chamber activity, but no activity at all in the natural setup. OBPA at 1% w/w also showed excellent activity in the chamber, but no activity outdoors.
