Diloxanide is an anti-protozoal agent and can be used for the research of asymptomatic-intestinal amebiasis caused by Entamoeba histolytica or some other protozoal infections. Diloxanide is an active luminal amebicide and hydrolyzed in the gastrointestinal tract from its prodrug Diloxanide furoate (HY-B1147)[1].

In Vivo	Diloxanide is hydrolyzed in the gastrointestinal tract from its prodrug Diloxanide furoate[1]. Diloxanide furoate (oral administraion; 75-200 mg/kg; 3 days; once daily) is effective at different dose of dayin weanling rats. At 200 mg/kg, 100% of the treated rats are cured and no amoebic lesions are observed in the caecum. Besides, 85%,77%, and 44.4% of the treated rats are cured at the dose 150 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, and 75 mg/kg, respectively. The ED50 value is 77.9 mg/kg for this agent in rats[2].
