Antiprotozoal
Toltrazuril targets Coccidia parasites. It alters the fine structure of coccidial developmental stages, mostly through enlargement of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, as well as anomalies in the perinuclear space and interference with nuclear division. It reduces the activity of oxidoreductases. |

Toltrazuril (BAY-i 9142) is an antiprotozoal drug that targets coccidioidal parasites. Toltrazuril alters the fine structure of coccidial developmental stages, mostly through enlargement of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, as well as anomalies in the perinuclear space and interference with nuclear division. Toltrazuril therapy resulted in a considerably lower average opg compared to group C (5.78 opg vs. 144.62 opg) (p < 0.05), with 97.7% FOCR. A high efficacy rate (99.23%) was seen 15 days following therapy; nonetheless, the drug's average efficacy remained extremely high (>90%) across all studies.
In vitro, toltrazuril alters the fine structure of coccidian development stages, mainly due to a swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum and of the Golgi apparatus and to abnormalities in the peri-nuclear space, disturbance in nuclear division. Its antiprotozoal activity has been demonstrated in cell-based assays. |
| ln Vivo |
Sheep coccidiosis is a pathology caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria spp. with clinical and economic effect especially in young animals (Ambrosi 1995; Pellérdy 1974). A field study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a metaphylactic treatment with toltrazuril 5 % suspension (Baycox®, Bayer) in comparison with diclazuril (Vecoxan®, Janssen-Cilag) and untreated controls against naturally acquired Eimeria infections in housed lambs. A total of 170 animals, aged 24 to 34 days and randomly divided in three homogeneous groups, were included in the study. The assessment of treatment efficacy was based on total faecal oocyst excretion (opg) and count reduction (FOCR) in the two groups of animals treated with toltrazuril (TOLT) and diclazuril (DICL) compared with untreated control group (C). The animals treated with toltrazuril showed a considerably lower mean opg to that of group C (5.78 opg versus 144.62 opg) (p < 0.05) and a FOCR of 97.7 %. The higher efficacy (99.23 %) was observed at 15 days post treatment; however, the average efficacy of the drug remained extremely high (> 90 %) for all the study. The lambs treated with diclazuril showed an intense, persistent oocyst excretion with average levels of 97.54 opg, (p < 0.05). This study demonstrates the good efficacy of toltrazuril administered orally to lambs in the prepatent period in subclinical natural Eimeria infections in housed lambs[2].
In vivo, toltrazuril is used in veterinary medicine to treat coccidiosis caused by Eimeria species in poultry, livestock, and other animals. It is an antiprotozoal agent that acts upon Coccidia parasites. Its efficacy in treating coccidiosis has been demonstrated in various animal species. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The activity of toltrazuril can be assessed using cell-based assays with cultured Coccidia parasites. Parasites are incubated with varying concentrations of the compound, and cell viability is measured. The IC50 for antiprotozoal activity is determined from dose-response curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
To evaluate the cellular effects of toltrazuril, Coccidia parasites are treated with the compound, and the effects on parasite morphology, replication, and viability are assessed.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies with toltrazuril typically involve administration to animals via oral routes. In models of coccidiosis, the compound's effects on parasite clearance, disease progression, and animal health are assessed.

*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.
