Toltrazuril

개요Toltrazuril (Baycox®,Procox®) is a triazinon drug thathas broad-spectrum anticoccidial and antiprotozoalactivity. It is not commercially available in the UnitedStates, but it is available in other countries. It is activeagainst both asexual and sexual stages of coccidia byinhibiting nuclear division of schizonts and microga-monts and the wall-forming bodies of macrogamonts. Itmay also be useful in the treatment of neonatal porcinecoccidiosis, EPM, and canine hepatozoonosis. Toltrazuril and its major metabolite ponazuril (toltrazuril sulfone, Marquis) are triazine-based antiprotozoal drugs that have specific activity against apicomplexan coccidial infections. Toltrazuril is not available within the United States.

용도Toltrazuril is an antiprotozoal agent that is widely used to prevent coccidia parasite infection in veterinary applications. The effectiveness of treatment appears to depend on the coccidian species, development stage of the parasite, and level of infection.

용도Labelled analog of a triazinetrione anticoccidial. Coccidiostat. Toltrazuril is found to be highly effective against coccidia and is used in controlling coccidiosis. It is acting against all intracellular development stages of coccidia of the merogony (asexual multiplication) and gamogony (sexual phase). All stages are destroyed, thus the mode of action is coccidiocidal.
