Product Description
Diclazuril (R-64433), a phenylacetonitrile analogue, is a potent, orally bioactive anticoccidial agent. Diclazuril (R-64433) may be utilized in research related to certain infectious and parasitic diseases, like coccidiosis, acute toxoplasmosis, equine parasitic encephalomyelitis (EPM), etc.
Diclazuril (R-64433, CAS 101831-37-2) is a potent, orally active, broad-spectrum anticoccidial agent belonging to the triazine phenylacetonitrile class. It is widely used in veterinary medicine to prevent and treat coccidiosis in poultry, rabbits, lambs, and cattle. It is also indicated for the treatment of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) caused by Sarcocystis neurona. With a molecular weight of 407.64 g/mol and formula C₁₇H₉Cl₃N₄O₂.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Diclazuril targets apicomplexan parasites by inhibiting their development. Its mechanism is linked to the actin depolymerizing factor (ADF), a key protein in the parasite's actin dynamics. It has also shown binding affinity to the human pregnane X receptor (PXR).
ln Vitro
Diclazuril exhibits excellent in vitro activity. It inhibits tachyzoite production of Toxoplasma gondii by >97% at 0.005 µg/mL. It inhibits merozoite production of Sarcocystis neurona by >80% at 0.1 ng/mL. Against Eimeria tenella, it has an IC₅₀ of 0.0008 ppm. It inhibits actin polymerization and depolymerization kinetics at 1 mg/L.
ln Vivo
As a coccidiostat, diclazuril (R-64433) works. Strong, prolonged oocyst excretion was observed in lambs treated with diclazuril; the average level was 97.54 opg, substantially greater than those observed in animals treated with toltrazuril (p < 0.05)[1]. Late in the life cycle of Eimeria maxima, diclazuril (R-64433) is effective against it; nevertheless, subclinical intestinal abnormalities may appear soon after infection. Research has demonstrated that in birds with Eimeria major, diclazuril (R-64433) can lower lesion scores and enhance health and performance [2].
In vivo, diclazuril is highly effective. It reduces lesion scores and improves performance in broiler chickens challenged with Eimeria. In horses, it is used to treat EPM. In lambs treated with diclazuril, a persistent oocyst excretion was observed.
Enzyme Assay
Diclazuril's binding affinity has been characterized using various assays. It shows competitive binding to human PXR with an EC₅₀ of 7.90 µM. It has also demonstrated strong binding to the DOP2 dopamine receptor in in silico studies. Its interaction with actin depolymerizing factor is studied via co-sedimentation analysis and TEM.
Cell Assay
Diclazuril is highly active in cell culture. Treatment of T. gondii-infected cell cultures with 0.01 µg/mL for 3 days results in >99% reduction in tachyzoite counts. It inhibits merozoite production in bovine turbinate cell cultures infected with S. neurona.
Animal Protocol
Diclazuril is extensively studied in animals. In poultry, it is administered in feed or water. In horses, it is given orally as a pelleted topdressing. Pharmacokinetic studies are performed in various species, including kiwi chicks and quails. Toxicological studies in zebrafish assess its developmental toxicity.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
In horses, plasma concentrations peak at 48 h (mean 395.6 ng/mL), while CSF peaks at 24 h (mean 9.0 ng/mL). The steady-state plasma concentration is 2000-2500 ng/mL. In lambs, absorption is poor, with Tmax at 24-48 h and a half-life of about 30 h. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model has been developed for broiler chickens.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Diclazuril has a low order of toxicity. The NOEL in a two-year mouse study was 3 mg/kg bw/day. It has been shown to be safe in poultry without adverse effects. However, it has been detected in groundwater, raising concerns about its impact on non-target species.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
