RESUMO

We have employed semisynthesis to enhance the anticoccidial potency of a polyether ionophore. CP-72,588 is the alpha-methyl analog of the fermentation-derived polyether ionophore UK-58,852. The parent ionophore required a dose of 15 ppm to achieve anticoccidial efficacy in chickens equivalent to that of salinomycin at 60 ppm. CP-72,588 demonstrated substantially improved potency, with efficacy at 5 to 7.5 ppm. The intrinsic antimicrobial potencies of the two ionophores are similar; however, CP-72,588 was found in chicken tissues at higher levels than those of the parent ionophore when each was administered at the same dose (8 ppm). The enhanced potency of CP-72,588 may be partially due to enhanced uptake into tissues.
