Properties:
Imidocarb dipropionate is a substituted carbanilide.
used as an antiprotozoan treatment for the control of Babesia spp. Little is known about the mode-ofaction of imidocarb dipropionate. It appears that imidocarb acts directly on the parasite, causing alteration in number and size of nuclei and in morphology (vacuolation) of the cytoplasm. The antiprotozoan activity is derived from the carbanilide acting on glycolyis of the parasite. This is the result of this class of drugs giving rise to hypoglycaemia in the host. Babesia as well as many other parasites like trypanosomes depend upon host glucose for aerobic glycolysis. There is also a selective blocking effect on the replication of the quinetoplastic DNA of the parasite.
