Ponazuril is indicated for the treatment of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) caused by Sarcocystis neurona. Ponazuril is a triazine-based drug that acts to inhibit enzyme systems in protozoa and/or decreasing pyrimidine synthesis. It is specific for apicomplexan organisms because the action attacks the apicoplast organelle in protozoa. This action produces a specific effect as an antiprotozoal agent without affecting other organisms. Because ponazuril is a weak acid with high lipid solubility, it is able to cross the intact blood-brain barrier and enter the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), most likely by passive diffusion.
