Determination of ED50 values for praziquantel in praziquantel-resistant and -susceptible Schistosoma mansoni isolates

Abstract

The dose of praziquantel required to kill 50% of adult worms in vivo (i.e. the ED50) was estimated for nine different isolates of Schistosoma mansoni in infected mice. Four of the isolates were selected because they had not knowingly been in contact with the drug (i.e. they were putatively praziquantel-susceptible). Five putatively praziquantel-resistant isolates were chosen because they had been selectively bred for drug-resistance in the laboratory and/or had previously been shown to be relatively resistant to praziquantel in the field. The work was performed in three laboratories in different countries using pre-agreed and comparable experimental protocols. All four praziquantel-susceptible isolates had ED50s estimated to be <100 mg/kg (mean=70+/-7 SD; median=68), while all five putatively praziquantel-resistant isolates had estimated ED50s >100 mg/kg (mean=209+/-48 SD; median=192). Thus, the five praziquantel-resistant isolates, including two that had been subjected to drug pressure during more than 20 passages in mice, had drug ED50s that were approximately three times as great as those of the praziquantel-susceptible isolates. Two of the five isolates in the putatively resistant group had previously been passaged 15 or mo...Continue Reading

Anthelmintics

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.
