چکیده

Lamson et al. (1-8) carried out extensive studies on the anthelmintic activity of a large number of alkylhydroxybenzenes and found that substances which apparently act through the cuticle of ascaris were ineffective when their melting points were too high. Harwood (9) demonstrated that if such chemicals were kept in the liquid phase by adulteration with certain organic liquids, their in vitro ascaricidal properties were heightened. Considering these reports which suggest a close relationship be tween the anthelmintic effect and melting points of these substances, the present au thors attempted to increase the anthelmintic efficacy by combining certain alkylresor cinols with comparatively slight irritant action. The present paper gives evidence for the potentiation of in vitro and clinical efficacy by the combination of such chemicals, and describes observations on the toxi city and local irritant properties. Certain physical properties arising from such a combination, were studied in order to elucidate the mechanism of their synergistic effect.

Effects of Combination of Intravenous Anesthetic Agents on Human Glycine Receptor evaluated by Artificial Neural Networks

Introduction: Intravenous general anesthetic agents are among the most important and widely used anesthetic drugs in the clinical practice. Many pharmacological studies have shown that potentiation of GABA and glycine on their receptors is the most plausible mechanism. Nevertheless, there is limited information on the effects of co-administration of two or more of these agents. However, expe...

Evaluation of Anti biofilm and Antibiotic Potentiation Activities of Silver Nanoparticles Against some Nosocomial Pathogens

Nowadays silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are used as antimicrobial due to its well known physical, chemical, and biological properties. A large collection of bacterial cells adhering to a surface is called bacterial biofilm. Exposure to silver nano particles (AgNPs) may prevent colonization of new bacteria onto the biofilm. In the present work, we have investigated whether the biofilm format...

A STUDY OF THE ANTHELMINTIC ACTIVITY OF AQUEOUS EXTRACT OF PLEUROTUS ERYNGII ON SYPHACIA OBVELATA AND HYMENOLEPIS NANA

Pleurotus eryngii is a mushroom growing in the Bakhtiari province of Iran and is known as a mountain fungus. The fresh fungus is used as a food, and when dried its powder has been used as an anthelmintic drug. We decided to study the anthelmintic activity of P. eryngii on Hymenolepis nana (cestode) and Syphacia obvelata (nematode), using experimental animals. Water extract of P. eryngii wa...
