Abstract
We have tried to measure the anti-dandruff effect of the several kinds of formulations by determining the MIC values of the P. ovale which was determined by resazurin(alarmar Blue™). To get high reproducibility, it was suggested that about 2.6 X 105cfu/mℓ of P. ovale should be incubated with alarmar Blue™, optimum dilution ratio between alarmar Blue™ and PBS buffer should be 1:1 - 1:4, and oplimam incubation time should be 16 ~24 hours. Even though 1:1 diluted alarmar Blue™ was incubated with P. ovale,the metabolic activity of P. ovale was not inhibited by alarmar Blue™. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration(MIC) values of several kinds of anti-dandruff formulation which were the mixture system between Zinc pyrithione and Climbazole make it possible to determine the optimal anti-dandruff formulation, which show similar results with that of microscopic MIC determination and that of SDDM(Skin-Disk Diffusion Method). It is expected that the anti-dandruff test method which uses alarmar Blue™ could be used as an effective in vitro test method because it was not so much affected by the turbidity of the broth and samples, and it can afford the MIC values of many samples within relatively short time by using microplate reader.
