[Activity of the anthelmintic agent trichlorophen on the models of human helminthiasis]. / Aktivnost' otechestvennogo antigel'mintika trikhlofena na modeliakh gel'mintozov cheloveka.

Trials of trichlorophen have shown its high efficacy on models of cestode infections: hymenolepiasis (at the adult and cysticercoid stages of development on three types of animals: outbred albino mice, albino rats and golden hamsters), preimaginal echinococciasis alveolaris, larval alveolar echinococciasis (at the early stage of development of the parasite in experiments on cotton rats). The high nematodical activity of trichlorophen was first found on models of trichocephaliasis in DBA/2y mice, nippostrongyloidiasis (in in vitro experiments), and aspiculuriasis in outbred mice. The agent proved to be ineffective at the tissue developmental stage of Hymenolepsis nana (H. nana), the dwarf tapeworm, in albino mice, during experimental opisthorchiasis in golden hamsters. It showed a low efficacy in treating trichinosis in outbred albino mice. Unlike carbamatebenzimidazoles, trichlorophen was inactive at the tissue stage of H. nana; it exerted no effects on the eggs of a dwarf tapeworm in trichinosis. Trichlorophen was also inactive in treating experimental opisthorchiasis in golden hamsters.

Experiments have established the high efficacy of combinations of the micronized dosage form of trichlorophen, with albendazole or medamine in treating trichocephaliasis (its causative agent being Trichocephalus muris) in DBA/2st mice and that of trichlorophen in combination with azinox or fenasal in outbred albino mice with hymenolepiasis (its causative agent being Hymenolepis nana). These combinations are promising in treating patients with cestodosis and nemadosis, respectively.

[The technology for manufacturing antiparasitic preparations. 9. The new preparation tizanox and an evaluation of its anti-Hymenolepis activity]. / Tekhnologiia proizvodstva protivoparazitarnykh preparatov. 9. Novyi preparat tizanoks i otsenka ego protivogimenolepidoznoi aktivnosti.

The paper describes a procedure for manufacturing the new anthelminthic Tizanox. It shows it necessary to administer a larger dose of the drug than that of azinox (praziquantel) to treat experimental hymenolepiasis. However, the lower toxicity of Tizanox enhances its chemotherapeutical index.

[The technology for manufacturing antiparasitic preparations. 6. The development of a technology for producing the anthelmintic Azinox (praziquantel) and the evaluation of its toxic and anthelmintic properties]. / Tekhnologiia proizvodstva protivoparazitarnykh preparatov. 6. Razrabotka tekhnologii polucheniia antigel'mintika Azinoksa (prazikvantelia) i otsenka ego toksicheskikh i protivogel'mintnykh svoistv.

The paper outlines a procedure for manufacturing the anthelminthic Azinox (biltricide) using the new interfacial transfer catalyst benzyl-di-propyl (beta-hydroxyethyl)ammonium chloride. Azinox has been shown to be identical to biltricide (praziquantel) in its properties. Azinox tests on models of Opisthorchis felineus in golden hamsters and of Hymenolepis nana in albino outbred mice have indicated that the agent is not inferior to biltricide in its antitrematodal and anticestodal activities. Azinox displayed a high activity at the preimaginal stages of O. felineus and H. nana and at the larval stage of H.nana.

[Comparative study of different strains of the dwarf tapeworm, Hymenolepis nana in the process of adapting to the body of a new host, the white mouse]. / Sravnitel'noe izuchenie razlichnykh shtammov karlikovogo tsepnia Hymenolepis nana v protsesse adaptatsii k organizmu novogo khoziania--beloi myshi

Different strains of H. nana from man, Norway and white rats were studied in regards to their adaptability. Strains obtained from spontaneously infected white mice and those passaged for several years on white mice served as control. In the course of successive passages the infectivity of these strains, developmental rates of tissue larvae, localization of cystocercoids in the small intestine and mesenteric lymph glands were compared. The strains were found to possess different adaptability to white mice. The strain from white rats had the highest rate of adaptation, the strains from Norway rats and man showed lower adaptation rates, respectively.
