Usage

Description

Amprolium, an organic chloride salt with the chemical structure 1-[(4-amino-2-propylpyrimidin-5-yl)methyl]-2-methylpyridin-1-ium as the counterion, is an antiprotozoal agent known for its effectiveness in preventing coccidiosis in poultry and cattle. It is a solid substance with a significant role in the veterinary industry.

Uses

Used in Poultry Industry:
Amprolium is used as a coccidiostat for the prevention of coccidiosis in poultry. It helps to protect birds from the harmful effects of this parasitic disease, which can lead to significant economic losses in the poultry sector.
Used in Cattle Industry:
Amprolium is also used as a coccidiostat for the prevention of coccidiosis in cattle. By preventing this disease, it contributes to the overall health and productivity of the cattle population.
Brand Names:
Some of the well-known brand names for Amprolium in the veterinary industry include Amprol [Veterinary] (Merial), Amprovine [Veterinary] (Merial), and Corid [Veterinary] (Merial). These products are specifically designed to cater to the needs of the poultry and cattle industries, ensuring the health and well-being of these animals.

Manufacturing Process

1.9 grams of p-toluene sulfonyl chloride was added gradually with shaking to a cooled (0-5°C) solution of 1.67 grams of 2-n-propyl-4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl pyrimidine in 10 ml of 2-methylpyridine. The reaction mixture, after standing three hours in an ice bath, and 15 hours at room temperature, was evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in 20 ml of water, acidified with hydrochloric acid and poured over a column of Amberlite IRA- 400 ion exchange resin on the chloride cycle. The eluate was evaporated to dryness to give a residue of 1-(2-n-propyl-4-amino-5-pyrimidylmethyl)-2- methyl pyridinium chloride hydrochloride. On recrystallization from a methanol-ethanol mixture, the quaternary had melting point 246°C (dec.).
