In the current investigation, the effect of ascorbic acid on thein vitrogrowth of several piroplasm including Babesiabovis (Bartonella bovis), Baconia bigemina, B. caballi,and Theileria equi(T. equi), as well as against Brucellamicrotiin mice was assessed. The antipiroplasm efficacy of ascorbic acidin vitroandin vivowas assessed using a fluorescence-based SYBR Green I test. Using atom pair fingerprint (APfp), we investigated the structural similarity between ascorbic acid and the commonly used antibabesial medicines, diminazene aceturate (DA) and imidocarb dipropionate (ID).In vitrocultures ofB. bovisandT. equiwere utilized to determine the ascorbic acid and DA interaction using the Chou–Talalay method. Ascorbic acid inhibitedB. bovis, B. bigemina, T. equi, andB. caballigrowthin vitroin a dose-dependent manner. The APfp results revealed that ascorbic acid and DA have a maximum structural similarity (MSS). On aT. equiculturein vitro, ascorbic acid showed a synergistic interaction with DA, with a combination index of 0.28.B. microtigrowth was decreased by 41%in vivousing ascorbic acid combined with a very low dosage of DA (6.25 mg kg−1). The results imply that ascorbic acid /DA could be a viable combination therapy for the treatment ofT. equiand that it could be utilized to overcome the resistance ofBabesiaparasites to full doses of the regularly used antibabesial medication, DA.
