In vitro effects of albendazole sulfoxide and praziquantel against Taenia solium and Taenia crassiceps cysts.
We investigated the minimum exposure times of prazicuantel (PZQ) and albendazole sulfoxide (ABZSO) required for their activities against Taenia cysts in vitro as well as the 50 and 99% effective concentrations. The results showed that although the effects of both drugs are time and concentration dependent, ABZSO acts much slower and is less potent than PZQ.
متن کاملEfficacy of nitazoxanide, tizoxanide and tizoxanide glucuronide against Cryptosporidium parvum development in sporozoite-infected HCT-8 enterocytic cells.
The effects of nitazoxanide and its metabolites, tizoxanide and tizoxanide glucuronide, on the development of the asexual and sexual stages of Cryptosporidium parvum in differentiated human enterocytic HCT-8 cells were evaluated in a quantitative alkaline phosphatase immunoassay. Nitazoxanide, tizoxanide and tizoxanide glucuronide were inhibitory for up to 46 h when added after sporozoite invas...
متن کاملImmunoregulation by Taenia crassiceps and Its Antigens
Taenia crassiceps is a cestode parasite of rodents (in its larval stage) and canids (in its adult stage) that can also parasitize immunocompromised humans. We have studied the immune response elicited by this helminth and its antigens in mice and human cells, and have discovered that they have a strong capacity to induce chronic Th2-type responses that are primarily characterized by high levels...
متن کاملPotential for hepatitis C virus resistance to nitazoxanide or tizoxanide.
Nitazoxanide and its primary metabolite, tizoxanide, inhibit hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication in HCV replicon systems. To study the potential for resistance, we subjected Huh7 cells harboring HCV replicons to serial passage in 250 muM G418 and increasing concentrations of nitazoxanide or tizoxanide. Passage of the replicon-containing cell lines in either compound resulted in increases in the...
متن کاملShort Communication: In Vitro Efficacy Testing of Praziquantel, Ivermectin, and Oxfendazole against Taenia Solium Cysts
Oxfendazole is recommended as the drug of choice for treating porcine cysticercosis. The drug does not kill brain cysts and is not registered for use in pigs. Latest its safety in the recommended dose has been questioned. The aim of this study was to investigate two alternative anthelminthics. The efficacy of praziquantel and ivermectin was compared to oxfendazole In Vitro on Taenia solium. Cys...
