 Zinc, especially, ZnO which is one of inorganic
zinc products is very effective to prevent and cure
the digestive disorder such as ‘diarrhea’ in young
animal (piglet, calf etc.), even in matured animal
 Also, Zinc is very important trace mineral involved
in natural immune system
Bivalent cation minerals and the
mucus on intestinal surface
 Bivalent cation: Zinc(Zn++), Copper(Cu++),
Magnesium(Mg++) etc.
 On the other hand, Mucus/intestinal surface is
consist of ‘glycoprotein’ and ‘glycolipid’. And, all of
them show a negative charge
 Bivalent cation compounds become free ions in
GIT and bind to mucus through the ionic bond
 To cope with this barrier in digestion of mineral,
‘Organic minerals’ were developed
 Differences between ZnO and Organic Zinc
 ZnO: can be free ion easily (Zn++)
 organic Znic: strong bond
 To get any effects such as anti-viral, antibiotic and
reduction in excessive immune response (allergy
etc) in GIT, Zinc complex should release free ions
easily.

E. coli and GIT dysfunction
 Most important reason for GIT dysfunction like a
diarrhea is E. coli; K88, K99 etc.
 E. coli bind to specific receptors consist of
‘Glycoprotein’ and ‘Glycolipid’ on intestinal surface
and exert toxicity on the epithelial cell in typical
condition.
Effects of ZnO and CuSO4
 In effects of ZnO and CuSO4 on GIT…
 ZnO and CuSO4 increased the performance in
production and growth rate, when it’s inclusion rate
was increased.
 Both of them suppressed the activity of E. coli in
pharmacological level in diets

Effects of some countermeasures
for E. coli
 High inclusion level of Zinc(ZnO) could reduce the
activity of beneficial bacteria [Ole Hojberg et al, 2005].
 AGRAZINC 100 reduced the activity and number of
E. coli, but increased the activity and number of
beneficial bacteria in GIT.
 Lactobacilli can also bind to specific receptors of
E. coli on intestinal surface competitively. So, it
prevents excessive proliferation of E. coli in GIT.

Logical approach to MOA of
Zinc Ion(Zn++)


Zinc ion, bivalent cation, seems to have an
affinity for E. coli’s binding sites on intestine
more than other beneficial microorganisms.
With this hypothesis, Zinc ion seems to be
bound to ‘glycoprotein’ and ‘glycolipid’ on
intestinal surface preferentially that are the
binding sites of E. coli.

Then, E. coli cannot find any binding sites to
be adhered and channel to penetrate and
exert toxicity in target tissue. And, move
along with excreta.

As we have seen in many other trial, if ZnO
was supplied more than specific level
(unknown), it could suppress not only E. coli,
but also beneficial bacteria in GIT.

• ZnO which have bypassed stomach would be ionized gradually and Zinc ions would be attached to
receptors consist of glycoprotein/glycolipid on intestinal surface or ‘Cell adhesion molecules’ on
epithelial cells.
• Meanwhile, Zinc ions would be attached to specific binding sites for E. coli competitively. However,
too much higher level of zinc ions flux could block the docking sites for other beneficial bacteria, and
then, it could suppress the activity of these beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacilli (Graph 1)
• After then, the amount of intact ZnO, which could be ionized, would be reduced to the minimum
level to suppress E. coli gradually. Then, the activity of beneficial bacteria would be increased (Lactic
acid, it’s by-product, would be increased)
[Ole Hojberg et al, AEM.71.5.2267-2277. 2005]
The limit of ZnO and effects of
AGRAZINC 100
 The effect of pharmacological level of ZnO is well known.
However, it also effects on beneficial bacteria.
 Still, there need to study what incorporation level (a guide
line) do not depress the activity of beneficial bacteria in
certain conditions, while it depress typical pathogen such as
E. coli.
 AGRAZINC 100 release Zn ion where it should be released in
order to protect gut health effectively from the pathogen.
Then, AGRAZINC 100 can also promote any beneficial
bacteria.

Preventing Virus
EDDITED BY JIN-TAE KIM, AGRANCO N.E ASIA COUNTRY MANAGER
AGRAZINC 100
Infection routes of Virus
 The viral infection through the gut and respiratory
system(throat, lungs etc.) is commenced from the
binding (penetration) between Virus and the host
cell.
 Virus can get into the host cell through CAMs (Cell
Adhesion Molecules). There are IgSF CAMs(ICAM1, VCAM-1, etc), Selectins, Integrins and
Cadherins
Infection routes of Virus
 Nucleic acid of Virus is covered with a certain
protein called ‘Capsid’ seems like a “canyons’” or
“pockets” pattern.
 This capsid will be attached to a certain receptor
(ICAM-1, Integrins, etc.) just like a ‘key and lock’
formation

 CAMs (Cell Adhesion Molecules)

CAMs are proteins located on the cell surface involved with the binding with other
cells or with the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the process called cell adhesion
-Wikipedia-

Rotavirus utilize different integrins (glycoproteins) as cell receptors.

The outer end of ICAM-1 have a narrow, wedge-shaped segment that can reach
and bind with side chains on the canyon floor of rhinovirus.

CAMs allow the virus to penetrate the cell and replicate.

Zinc and cell adhesion molecules
 In common cold virus(rhinovirus), Zinc ion is a
competitive inhibitor of ICAM-1 in both rhinovirus
particles and nasal epithelium.
[Darrell Hulisz, J Am Pharm Assoc 44(5):594-603, 2004]
 Zinc ions are small, positively charged spheres
with an affinity for CAMs that can easily reach the
virus canyon floor
 Zinc ions may block the binding between Virus and
CAMs on the cell membrane. Therefore, it may
reduce viral infection of intestinal epithelial cells.

CAMs, Infection, Immune and
Zinc ion (Zn++)
 CAMs provide a channel to immune cells and pathogen in
blood to adhere them on epithelial cell line. Therefore, these
immune cells can move into target tissue.
 This kind of method can be applied for both of virus and
bacteria or immune cell
 It means; if these kind of channel were blocked, we could
reduce the rate of viral infection in host cells and excessive
immune cells flux by increment of the permeability of the cell
into the target area/tissue that can lead ‘inflammation’
 Zinc ions may attach glycoproteins/glycolipids on the cell
membrane, such as CAMs. Then, it may prevent the binding
among epithelial cells and other cells or extracellular matrix
Zn++ : preventing allergy in GIT
EDDITED BY JIN-TAE KIM, AGRANCO N.E ASIA COUNTRY MANAGER
AGRAZINC 100
Immune response..
 In young animals, allergenic factors (ANFs in soy,
etc) can induce allergenic reaction in GIT, even in
matured animal.
 These induce excessive immune reaction on
intestinal epithelium, such as ‘hemorrhage’,
‘inflammation’
The basic of inflammatory
response (immune)
 Mast cell
 A mast cell is a resident cell of areolar connective tissue
(loose connective tissue) and contains many granules
rich in histamine and heparin
 Once allergen is bound with IgE on a mast cell, ‘mast cell’
is activated and release ‘histamine’, ‘leukotriene’ and
‘Prostaglandine(PG)’
 Histamine increase a permeability of blood vessel. Then,
it makes immune cells move into target tissue.
 At the same time, ‘mast cell’ release Zn++ as a natural
“circuit breaker” to prevent a excessive immune response;
regulate the amount of immune cell movement.

AGRAZINC 100 : reduction in
inflammation and a excessive immune
response
 Zinc ions released from AGRAZINC 100 are...
 acting right on time and place: Once zinc ions
are absorbed at intestinal epithelium, they
regulate immune cell flux into intestinal
epithelium to prevent a allergy-like excessive
immune response.
 How?
 Once Zn ++ of AGRAZINC 100 attach to CAMs
(Cell Adhesion Molecules), they can block the
binding between CAMs and immune cells that
lead inflammation

Types and effects of zinc complex
 Until now, we have studied ‘mode of action’ are
related to AGRAZINC 100
 However, all of zinc complexes are performing
same effects were shown in previous slides
effectively.
 To bring such effects in GIT, zinc ion must be
released easily right on time and place. It means
too tight bond in a zinc complex is not effective
such as chelated minerals.

prevent pathogen exert their own toxicity on epithelium
 AGRAZINC 100 reduces the activity of E. coli as a pathogen,
but increase the activity of beneficial bacteria in GIT.
 AGRAZINC 100 may reduce a excessive immune response
like a ‘allergy’ induced by ANFs (anti nutritional factors).
