Uses
Bitipazone, diacetylbis(piperidinethyl)thiourea cysteine ester (I), has potent anticoccidial activity. Bitipazone showed significant efficacy and good tolerability in rabbits and turkeys, and in chronic toxicity tests, bitipazone was tolerated in turkeys at concentrations below 90 ppm in feed. Pharmacokinetic studies show that bitipazone is eliminated slowly from the blood and organs of these animal species[1].
