Amprolium is a thiamine analog and antiprotozoal agent that interferes with thiamine metabolism and inhibits carbohydrate synthesis.{39908,39909,39910,39911} It competitively inhibits thiamine uptake by E. tenella schizonts and by chick host intestinal cells (Kis = 7.6 and 326 ?M, respectively).{39908} It also inhibits hexose formation and pentose utilization ex vivo in isolated lysed rat erythrocytes and in liver, kidney, heart, and intestinal tissue homogenates following dietary administration.{39909} Amprolium (1,000 ppm in feed) inhibits oocyst output and sporulation of Eimeria maxima, E. brunetti, and E. acervulina in infected chicks.{39910} It also decreases lesion and oocyst scores and mortality of E. tenella-infected chicks following dietary administration of a 125 ppm dose.{39911} Amprolium (100 ?M) induces apoptosis in PC12 rat adrenal cells and increases the level of cleaved caspase-3.{39912} Formulations containing amprolium have been used as coccidiostats in poultry processing.
