Zinc Pyrithione (cas 1121-30-8) (ZPT), a zinc coordination complex, is used as an antimicrobial agent. This study investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying ZPT-induced spermatozoa immobilization by examining plasma membrane integrity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway response. ZPT inhibited spermatozoa motility and movement patterns in a concentration-dependent manner. The 100% effective concentration (EC100) and median effective concentration (EC50) at which ZPT-induced spermatozoa immobilization at 20 s were 40 μmol/L and 16.19 μmol/L, respectively. ZPT did not significantly disrupt spermatozoa plasma membranes, but it exerted a strong and significant effect on the depolarization of mitochondria. In addition, ZPT exposure induced intracellular H+ accumulation and Ca2+ dissipation in spermatozoa, accompanied by suppression of the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway. Thus, ZPT induces spermatozoa immobilization without significant plasma membrane injury and so could be a candidate microbicidal spermicide.
