Multidisciplinary Preclinical Investigations on Ferrocenyl, Ruthenocenyl, and Benzyl Derivatives of Niridazole as New Drug Candidates against Schistosomiasis. [PDF]
Novel organometallic derivatives of niridazole are designed, synthesized, and tested against Schistosoma mansoni. Schistosomiasis affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide, yet its chemotherapeutic treatment is based on the only drug available‐praziquantel (PZQ).

The role of the host gut microbiome in the pathophysiology of schistosomiasis
Abstract The pathophysiology of schistosomiasis is linked to the formation of fibrous granulomas around eggs that become trapped in host tissues, particularly the intestines and liver, during their migration to reach the lumen of the vertebrate gut. While the development of Schistosoma egg‐induced granulomas is the result of finely regulated crosstalk ...

Combined in silico machinery, consisting of long‐ and short‐range molecular interaction methods is capable of filtering large compound databases, yielding a good candidate for a receptor. The advantage of this approach is a fast assessment of a candidate, starting from basic information on both protein and small organic molecule – FASTA sequence and ...

Quantification of Proteins Involved in Intestinal Epithelial Handling of Xenobiotics
The intestinal epithelium represents a natural barrier against harmful xenobiotics, while facilitating the uptake of nutrients and other substances. Understanding the interaction of chemicals with constituents of the intestinal epithelium and their fate in the body requires quantitative measurement of relevant proteins in in vitro systems and ...

Variation in response of Schistosoma mansoni strains to schistosomicides
The BH strain of Schistosoma mansoni was found to be highly susceptible, to hy cant hone (1 x 80 mg/kg), oxamniquine (1 x 100 mg/kg) niridazole (5 x 100 mg/kg), praziquantel (1 x 100 mg/kg), oltipraz (5 x 125 mg/kg) and amoscanate (1 x 300 mg/kg) and is ...

Enhancing the Activity of Drugs by Conjugation to Organometallic Fragments
There is an urgent clinical need for new agents to treat microbial infections and cancer, especially to combat resistance to current drugs. The successful strategy of conjugating existing drugs to organometallic fragments is illustrated with examples of conjugated organometallic metallocene sandwich and half‐sandwich complexes, especially ferrocene ...

A randomized clinical trial was carried out to compare the efficacy of a low-dosage combination of oxamniquine (7.5 mg/kg) plus praziquantel (20 mg/kg) against either agent, oxamniquine (15 mg/kg) or praziquantel (40 mg/kg) alone, in the treatment of ...
