Amprolium hydrochloride
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Amprolium hydrochloride is a thiamine transporter inhibitor and antiparasitic agent with oral activity and blood-brain barrier penetration. Amprolium hydrochloride blocks thiamine transport at the blood-brain barrier and intestine, and competitively inhibits thiamine pyrophosphokinase, inducing thiamine pyrophosphate deficiency and impairing carbohydrate synthesis. Amprolium hydrochloride induces oxidative stress, alters antioxidant enzyme activity, and inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity. Amprolium hydrochloride disrupts reproductive organs and gametogenesis, and causes histopathological and ultrastructural damage to multiple organs. Amprolium hydrochloride induces thiamine deficiency, reduces body weight gain in mice, and causes psychomotor behavioral changes and nephropathy. Amprolium hydrochloride exhibits molluscicidal activity against the terrestrial snail Eobania vermiculata, and reduces the shedding of Eimeria meleagrimitis oocysts in feces and litter. Amprolium hydrochloride can be used for research on thiamine deficiency and coccidiosis.

In Vivo
Amprolium (10-100 mg/mL; contact method; single exposure; 7 days) hydrochloride exhibits molluscicidal activity against Eobania vermiculata, with an LC50 of 32.35 mg/mL after 7 days of exposure[1].
Amprolium (16.175 mg/mL; petri dish exposure; 7 days) hydrochloride induces significant biochemical alterations and oxidative stress, leading to severe histopathological and ultrastructural damage in multiple organs of Eobania vermiculata[1].
Amprolium (100 g/L; spray application; single dose) hydrochloride reduces Eobania vermiculata populations by 84% after 14 days in field trials when applied as a spray at 100 g/L[1].
Amprolium (10-20 mg/mL; p.o.; daily; 20 or 80 days) hydrochloride induces detectable and uniform behavioral psychomotor impairment and metabolic changes in mice, including a 39.27% reduction in locomotor activity and decreased body weight gain, without causing central nervous system lesions, but leading to moderate proteinuria and proximal tubular cell swelling[2].

ROS/oxidative-stress fluorescent staining
ROS/oxidative-stress fluorescent staining uses cell-permeant fluorogenic probes that become fluorescent after oxidation inside cells or tissues; commonly used examples include DCFH-DA/DCFDA for broad cellular oxidant detection, DHE for superoxide-related signal detection, MitoSOX for mitochondrial superoxide-related signal detection, and CellROX probes for oxidative-stress-associated fluorescence readouts. The assay detects probe oxidation rather than a single ROS species unless the probe and analysis method have been chemically validated for that species. DCFH-DA enters cells, is deacetylated by intracellular esterases to DCFH, and produces fluorescent DCF after oxidation, so the readout is used as an operational measure of total cellular oxidative stress rather than a species-specific ROS measurement. DHE and MitoSOX can report superoxide-related oxidation, but red fluorescence alone can include non-specific ethidium-like oxidation products; HPLC or optimized spectral approaches are
