Abstract

The antimetastatic activity of a thiazolobenzimidazole, Wy-18,251 was investigated using various dosage regimens in mice with implanted Lewis lung tumors. The low doses, 1 and 5 mg/kg (i.p.) given 24 hours after implantation with two subsequent doses at 1 week intervals were most effective in reducing lung metastases. Delayed hypersensitivity reactions in guinea pigs were significantly increased by oral doses of 50 and 150 mg/kg. In normal rats, peripheral blood lymphocytes determined by rosette assay, were significantly increased by oral doses of 50 to 150 mg/kg of Wy-18,251 and in a more sensitive assay using anti-theta serum the lymphocyte levels were increased by doses of 7.5 and 10 mg/kg. When cultured T lymphocytes from CBA/J mouse spleens were incubated with a suboptimal concentration of Concanavalin A, [3H]thymidine uptake was significantly increased in the presence of 0.05 to 1.0 microgram per culture. These results suggest that Wy-18,251 may have potential therapeutic value as an antimetastatic agent through its stimulation of the cellular immune system.

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.
