Usage
Coccidiostat (for poultry).
Usage
Lasalocid is a polyether ionophore with potent antibacterial activity. Lasalocid was developed as an animal health product for treatment of coccidia. Lasalocid is able to form neutral complexes with monovalent and divalent cations and transport the ions through apolar phase, including lipid bilayer membranes. Interestingly, lasalocid can also transport larger organic cations, e.g. protonated dopamine.

Definition
ChEBI: Lasalocid sodium is the sodium salt of lasalocid. It is a veterinary ionophore antibiotic used for prevention and treatment of coccidiosis in poultry. It has a role as a coccidiostat and an ionophore. It is a member of benzoates and an organic sodium salt. It contains a lasalocid(1-).
