Amprolium hydrochloride (Standard)

Amprolium (hydrochloride) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Amprolium (hydrochloride) (HY-B0937A). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 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.
