Mechanism of action
Salinomycin is a polyether monocarboxylic ionophore coccidiostat obtained from the fermentation of Streptomyces albus.
Salinomycin forms lipid-soluble complexes with monovalent cations, particularly potassium (K⁺) and sodium (Na⁺), facilitating the transport of these ions across biological membranes. Consequently, parasite membrane permeability to cations is altered, disrupting ionic gradients and the normal transmembrane electrical potential of the cell.
The disturbance in intra- and extracellular ion balance leads to impaired ionic and osmotic homeostasis, as well as impairment of energy-dependent metabolic processes. Following these alterations, the parasite cell is unable to maintain ionic equilibrium and normal physiological function, leading to cellular damage and ultimately the death of susceptible parasite stages.
Salinomycin acts on both extracellular and intracellular stages of the Eimeria life cycle, particularly the early asexual stages. The resulting disruption in ion transport and cellular function inhibits the growth and development of sensitive stages of the parasite, preventing effective progression of the infection and thereby reducing the severity of coccidiosis.
