• Although chemotherapy has been widely used to treat this disease, problems related to the development of parasite resistance and side effects associated with the compounds used have been noted. (scielo.org)
  • For example, anthelmintic drugs do not protect against reinfection, and treatment failure because of repeated use of these drugs has drawn attention to the development of drug resistance [ 6 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • To evaluate the possibility of resistance to the drug, cercariae collected from Biomphalaria glabrata infected with miracidia from eggs obtained from three of the individuals not cured were studied. (ajtmh.org)
  • Treatment with an antihelminthic drug kills worms whose phenotype renders them susceptible to the drug, but resistant parasites survive and pass on their "resistance" genes. (wikipedia.org)
  • In this work, an attempt was made to induceng resistance to 3 schistosomicidal drugs in a Brazilian strain of S. mansoni, according to the Type II resistance induction scheme proposed by JANSMA et al. (scielo.br)
  • Greater resistance to development of severe Schistosomiasis in Brazilian negroes. (rsbmt.org.br)
  • Parasitological cure was obtained in 5 (45%) of the patients after a single oral dose of oxamniquine (Mansil®), 20 mg/kg body weight. (ajtmh.org)
  • Immunodeficiency is variable, but fecal incontinence in a critically ill patients as well as prolonged typing or use illicit substances in blood volume, maintaining perfusion pressure with brady-cardia low heart rates, commonly associated with pulmonary vascular resistance has never had any surgeries.

  • Following preliminary conformational analysis, compound 6f ((E)-1-(2-hydroxy-5-((4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl)methyl)-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(4-((4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one) exhibited significant antiproliferative activity against human cervical cancer cells (HeLa and SiHa) with IC50 values of 6.52 ± 0.42 and 7.88 ± 0.52 µM, respectively, when compared to other compounds and positive control drugs. (bvsalud.org)
  • The combination of 6f and cisplatin resulted in a significant reduction in cisplatin resistance in HeLa/DDP cells. (bvsalud.org)
  • In cattle, prevalence of anthelminthic resistance varied between anthelmintic classes from 0-100% (benzimidazoles and macrocyclic lactones), 0-17% (levamisole) and 0-73% (moxidectin), and both Cooperia and Ostertagia survived treatment. (wikipedia.org)
  • In addition, 6f had an IC50 of 7.74 ± 0.36 µM against human cervical cancer cisplatin-resistant HeLa/DDP cells and a resistance index (RI) of 1.19, compared to 7.36 for cisplatin HeLa cells. (bvsalud.org)
  • Since 2009, praziquantel has frequently been used as preventive chemotherapy in the form of mass administration to Senegalese school-aged children, despite reports of low cure rates and possible resistance in certain endemic countries. (researchsquare.com)
  • In some countries the current treatment is based on two efficiently drugs, Praziquantel and Oxamniquine. (fapesp.br)
  • We argue that a broader anthelminthic approach supplementing praziquantel with new antischistosomals targeting different parasite development stages would not only increase efficacy but also reduce the risk for drug resistance. (biomedcentral.com)
  • International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance. (ufl.edu)
  • In the last decades, triazolopyrimidines and their metal complexes have been looked at as an alternative drug to the existing commercial antimonials, searching for a decrease in side effects and the development of parasite drug resistance. (mdwiki.org)
  • Two additional antischistosomal drugs - oxamniquine and metrifonate - had been recommended by WHO until the late 1990s, but both drugs are not available any longer. (medscape.com)
  • Following preliminary conformational analysis, compound 6f ((E)-1-(2-hydroxy-5-((4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl)methyl)-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(4-((4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)methyl)phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one) exhibited significant antiproliferative activity against human cervical cancer cells (HeLa and SiHa) with IC50 values of 6.52 ± 0.42 and 7.88 ± 0.52 µM, respectively, when compared to other compounds and positive control drugs.

  • However, the increasing number of resistance cases is becoming a clinical and experimental reality, beyond that, these drugs doesn't avoid reinfections and are inefficient against worm immature stages. (fapesp.br)
  • In cattle, prevalence of anthelminthic resistance varied between anthelmintic classes from 0-100% (benzimidazoles and macrocyclic lactones), 0-17% (levamisole) and 0-73% (moxidectin), and both Cooperia and Ostertagia survived treatment. (wikipedia.org)
