Baquiloprim
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Baquiloprim is an orally active Antibiotic and selective inhibitor of Bacterial Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), with an IC50 of 19 nM against E. coli and an IC50 of 190 μM against rat liver dihydrofolate reductase. Baquiloprim is a bacteriostatic broad-spectrum antibacterial agent that acts against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Baquiloprim inhibits glucuronidation in cultured hepatocytes. Baquiloprim can be used in research related to Pasteurella haemolytica infection, bacterial infection, Escherichia coli diarrhea, bacterial infection in pigs, and pneumonic pasteurellosis.

Biological Activity
Baquiloprim exerts in vitro bacteriostatic activity against Salmonella species (MIC50 = 0.12 μg/mL), Streptococcus zooepidemicus (MIC50 = 0.25 μg/mL), coagulase-positive Staphylococcus species (MIC50 = 0.5 μg/mL), and Taylorella equigenitalis (MIC50 = 2 μg/mL)[1].
Baquiloprim (24 h) exhibits broad-spectrum in vitro antibacterial activity against cattle, sheep, and pig bacterial isolates, with geometric mean MIC50 ranging from 0.03 mg litre-1 to 0.18 mg litre-1[2].
Baquiloprim (1:100 ratio with sulphadimidine; 24 h) shows high synergistic in vitro antibacterial activity with sulphadimidine against most cattle bacterial pathogens, with FIC indices below 0.5 and reduced MICs for baquiloprim in the 1:100 mixture[2].
Baquiloprim (<0.008-8.0 μg/mL alone; 0.004:0.4-0.5:50 μg/mL in 1:100 ratio with sulphadimidine) alone and in 1:100 combination with sulphadimidine inhibits growth of susceptible porcine bacterial pathogens[4].
Baquiloprim potently inhibits Pasteurella haemolytica in vitro with a mean MIC of 0.09 mg/L, and its activity is synergistically enhanced by sulphadimidine, reducing its mean MIC to 0.02 mg/l[6].
Baquiloprim (0.02-0.1 mM) potently inhibits glucuronidation in cultured rat and goat hepatocytes at 0.1 mM, but only weakly inhibits this pathway at the physiologically relevant concentration of 0.02 mM[1].
Baquiloprim potently inhibits Escherichia coli DHFR with an I50 of 1.9×10-8 M, and shows ~10,000-fold lower affinity for rat liver DHFR with an I50 of 1.9×10-4 M[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Baquiloprim (0.5 mg/kg; p.o.; at 1 and 6 hours post-infection) exhibits potent in vivo efficacy against E. coli infection in mice, with an average ED50 of 0.5 mg/kg[2].
Baquiloprim (10 mg/kg; i.m.; once daily; 3 days) achieves mean peak serum concentrations of 0.55 μg/mL and maintains concentrations above the assay limit for at least 24 hours post-dose, with an elimination half-life of 6.3 hours[4].
Baquiloprim (30 mg/kg; i.m.; single dose) achieves a mean peak serum concentration of 0.87 μg/mL and maintains measurable concentrations in most pigs for at least 48 hours, with an extended elimination half-life of 10.6 hours[4].
Baquiloprim (4 mg/kg; oral; single dose 6 hours pre-infection, second dose 48 hours post-infection) combined with sulphadimidine suppresses P. haemolytica-induced pneumonic pasteurellosis in calves, as evidenced by normal body temperatures, minimal signs, negligible lung lesions, and no bacterial recovery[6].
