CAS 137-88-2: amprolium hydrochloride
Description:Amprolium hydrochloride is a synthetic compound primarily used as an anti-coccidial agent in veterinary medicine, particularly for poultry. It functions by inhibiting thiamine (vitamin B1) utilization in protozoan parasites, thereby disrupting their metabolism and growth. The substance appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder, which is soluble in water, making it suitable for incorporation into animal feed or drinking water. Its chemical formula reflects the presence of a hydrochloride salt, enhancing its stability and solubility. Amprolium hydrochloride is generally well-tolerated in animals when used at recommended dosages, but care must be taken to avoid overdosing, which can lead to thiamine deficiency and associated neurological issues. The compound is regulated in various countries, and its use is subject to specific guidelines to ensure animal health and food safety. Overall, amprolium hydrochloride plays a crucial role in managing coccidiosis, a significant concern in poultry farming, contributing to the health and productivity of livestock.
