Stage-Dependent Anthelmintic Activity of Licarin A Against the Neurotropic Nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
Angiostrongylus cantonensis is the leading cause of eosinophilic meningitis worldwide, but therapeutic options remain limited. This study investigated the anthelmintic activity and preliminary selectivity of licarin A, a neolignan isolated from Nectandra
