Effect of combined treatment with praziquantel and artemether on Schistosoma japonicum and Schistosoma mansoni in experimentally infected animals

Praziquantel and artemether are safe and efficacious antischistosomal drugs that act against different developmental stages of the parasite: praziquantel against adult worms and artemether against schistosomula. A combined treatment has been suggested as a strategy for transmission control. Recent laboratory experiments with rabbits with a mixed infection of Schistosoma japonicum parasites of different ages confirmed the effectiveness of a combination therapy. In the present work, we assessed the effect of a combined treatment on adult worms of S. japonicum and found significantly higher worm reduction rates than with a single dose of praziquantel. In a next step, we extended the study of the combined treatment to Schistosoma mansoni. A combined treatment with 75 mg/kg praziquantel and 150 mg/kg artemether was administered to hamsters infected with juvenile and adult S. mansoni. The two drugs, administered simultaneously or spaced by 6 h, 1, 3 or 7 days, resulted in significantly higher worm reduction rates than a single treatment with praziquantel. A combination therapy with increased doses of 100 mg/kg praziquantel and 300 mg/kg artemether showed very high worm reduction rates of 90% and above, however, some hamsters died in five different combined treatment experiments, suggesting that these drug concentrations were too high. We conclude that a combined treatment with praziquantel and artemether at the lower doses is safe and more effective than praziquantel alone, which forms a foundation for designing respective clinical trials in humans.     

三苯双脒、青蒿琥酯、蒿甲醚和吡喹酮单剂、多剂或联合用药治疗大鼠华支睾吸虫感染的实验研究

目的 观察三苯双脒、青蒿琥酯、蒿甲醚、或吡喹酮单剂、多剂给药,及其伍用治疗感染华支睾吸虫大鼠的疗效。 方法 147只SD大鼠各感染50个华支睾吸虫囊蚴,于感染后42～44 d分组治疗。各药物采用灌胃给药。①60只感染大鼠随机分为11组（每组4～5只）,分别为三苯双脒150 mg/kg（顿服）、75 mg/（kg·d）×2 d、50 mg/（kg·d）×3 d和25 mg/kg（tid）×2 d组;吡喹酮150 mg/kg（顿服）、75 mg/（kg·d）×2 d和25 mg/kg（tid）×2 d;青蒿琥酯或蒿甲醚75 mg/kg（顿服）和37.5 mg/（kg·d）×2 d组。②另87只感染大鼠随机分为15组（每组4～6只）,用青蒿琥酯或蒿甲醚（30 mg/kg）分别与吡喹酮（150 mg/kg）、三苯双脒（50 mg/kg和75 mg/kg）伍用组;三苯双脒（50 mg/kg）与吡喹酮（150 mg/kg）伍用组;三苯双脒（75 mg/kg）与吡喹酮（187.5 mg/kg）伍用组,及各药的单用组。并设同批感染未治疗对照组。受治鼠于治疗后2周剖杀,收集胆管和肝组织内的残留华支睾吸虫,计算各组的平均虫数和减虫率,用非参数统计方法（Mann-Whitney秩和检验）对相应组间的平均虫数进行分析。 结果 感染华支睾吸虫的大鼠口服单剂三苯双脒或吡喹酮（150 mg/kg）的减虫率分别为57.2%和63.8%。三苯双脒各小剂量多次给药组的减虫率稍高,达77.1%～79.4%,而吡喹酮小剂量多次给药组的减虫率则为50.6%～54.2%。但两种药物各组间的平均虫数的差异无统计学意义。青蒿琥酯和蒿甲醚各单剂给药组与小剂量多次给药组的减虫率均较高,分别为90.4%～98.5%和100%。三苯双脒小剂量（50或75 mg/kg）与吡喹酮（150 mg/kg 或187.5 mg/kg）伍用治疗,减虫率为74.9%～100%,高于其各单药组的减虫率（26.9%～79.6%）。青蒿琥酯或蒿甲醚小剂量（30 mg/kg）与吡喹酮（150 mg/kg）或三苯双脒（50或75 mg/kg）伍用治疗,减虫率为74.9%～97.9%,亦高于其各药组的减虫率（24.8%～79.6%）。 结论 青蒿琥酯、蒿甲醚、吡喹酮和三苯双脒均为有效的抗华支睾吸虫药物,各药物小剂量伍用具有增效作用。     

血吸虫对吡喹酮抗药性的研究ⅩⅢ日本血吸虫吡喹酮抗药性的实验诱导

目的实验研究在吡喹酮药物压力下中国大陆日本血吸虫对吡喹酮产生抗药性的可能性。方法取采自湖南省血吸虫病流行区湖滩现场和江苏省实验室传代的感染性钉螺实验室逸蚴,获得日本血吸虫尾蚴感染小鼠,从感染鼠肝脏分离成熟虫卵孵化毛蚴感染湖北钉螺,建立现场采集株和实验室传代株日本血吸虫小鼠钉螺实验室生活史循环。用定量尾蚴（40条/鼠）感染小鼠,感染35d后将小鼠随机分为对照组和抗性诱导组：对照组小鼠感染后45d解剖收集肠系膜静脉和肝门脉静活虫体,计算虫负荷（条/鼠）;抗性诱导组小鼠采用灌胃法一次口服亚治疗剂量吡喹酮进行治疗,服药22d后解剖收集肠系膜静脉和肝门脉静存活虫体。计算虫负荷（条/鼠）和减虫率,完成首轮诱导。取抗性诱导组小鼠肝脏,分离虫卵,实验室孵化出毛蚴重新感染钉螺,感染后的钉螺经25℃生化培养箱内饲养60~70d后,分离感染性钉螺并逸蚴,用成熟尾蚴感染小鼠,开始新一轮循环诱导。首轮诱导吡喹酮口服剂量为100mg/kg,后每循环2~3轮增加100mg/kg口服剂量。取完成8轮诱导后和未经诱导原代虫株的尾蚴感染小鼠,感染35d后分别采用300mg/kg和600mg/kg吡喹酮一次性灌胃治疗感染小鼠,服药后14d解剖感染鼠,收集活虫,计算各虫株减虫率,评价虫株经8轮诱导后对吡喹酮敏感性的变化。结果在实验室内建立了江苏实验室传代株和湖南现场采集株2个虫株,并对其实施了8轮诱导。江苏实验室传代株在小鼠体内经第1轮口服100mg/kg吡喹酮治疗后减虫率为22.3%,第8轮口服300mg/kg吡喹酮治疗后减虫率为53.7%,减虫率随口服吡喹酮剂量增加而增加;湖南现场采集株在小鼠体内经第1轮口服100mg/kg吡喹酮治疗后减虫率为66.8%,第8轮口服300mg/kg吡喹酮治疗后减虫率仅为20.6%,减虫率随口服吡喹酮剂量增加而显著降低。未经吡喹酮诱导的江苏实验室传代株在小鼠体内经300mg/kg和600mg/kg吡喹酮治疗后,减虫率分别为71.5%和97.4%;经8轮吡喹酮筛选治疗后该虫株减虫率降至32.6%和68.1%。未经吡喹酮诱导的湖南现场采集株在小鼠体内经300mg/kg和600mg/kg吡喹酮治疗后,减虫率分别为70.8%和97.5%;经8轮吡喹酮筛选治疗后该虫株减虫率降至45.7%和61.9%。结论中国大陆日本血吸虫在吡喹酮持续药物压力下可产生抗药性,但不同虫株间对吡喹酮敏感性存在差异,药物压力下产生抗性的潜能也存在差异。中国大陆日本血吸虫吡喹酮抗性株的建立,可为研究日本血吸虫吡喹酮抗性机制及其检测和监测技术奠定基础。     

Triclabendazole and its two main metabolites lack activity against Schistosoma mansoni in the mouse model

Some have claimed that triclabendazole, a safe and efficacious drug for the treatment of fascioliasis, also exhibits antischistosomal properties, but results are conflicting. We assessed the effect of triclabendazole and its two main metabolites against two different strains of Schistosoma mansoni harbored in mice. Low worm burden reductions (18.6-35.9%) were observed in mice infected with an Egyptian strain of S. mansoni and treated with a single dose of 120 mg/kg 3 days before infection or single/double doses of 120-200 mg/kg 7 weeks after infection. Triclabendazole failed to significantly reduce hepatic and intestinal tissue egg loads, and eggs of all developmental stages were observed. Administration of 400 mg/kg of either triclabendazole, triclabendazole sulphone, or triclabendazole sulfphoxide to mice infected with a Liberian strain of S. mansoni resulted in worm burden reductions < 10%. In comparison, high worm burden reductions (82-100%) were observed in S. mansoni-infected mice treated with single oral doses of 400, 500, or 500 mg/kg twice a day praziquantel, regardless of the S. mansoni strain. We conclude that triclabendazole and its main metabolites display weak and inconsistent schistosomicidal activities.     

Tegumental changes in 21-day-old Schistosoma mansoni harboured in mice treated with artemether

Alterations in the tegument of 21-day-old Schistosoma mansoni, caused by artemether administered to the infected mice, were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Mice were infected with S. mansoni cercariae, and after 21 days a single dose of artemether (400 mg/kg) was administered intragastrically. After 24, 72 h and 7 days groups of three mice were killed and the schistosomules collected by perfusion, fixed and processed routinely, and examined by SEM. After 24 h, all male and female worms examined showed alterations in the tegument, characterised by swelling, vesiculation and fusion of tegumental ridges; peeling, erosion and collapse of damaged tegumental surface, and also destruction of the oral sucker and acetabulum. After 72 h, severe damage to the tegument was seen, usually including extensive peeling, swelling and vesiculation, and host leukocytes were adhered to the damaged surface. Some worms were surrounded by clusters of host leukocytes or had even disintegrated. Seven days after treatment, some schistosomules still showed severe tegumental damage, but in some cases the damage was less than at earlier times, which suggested that those schistosomules that had survived were beginning to recover. The ability of artemether to cause severe damage to the tegument correlates with its high efficacy in killing 21-day-old schistosomules.     

Artemether, artesunate, praziquantel and tribendimidine administered singly at different dosages against Clonorchis sinensis: a comparative in vivo study

We comparatively assessed the in vivo efficacy of artemether, artesunate, praziquantel and tribendimidine against different stages of Clonorchis sinensis. Rats were infected with 40-50 C. sinensis metacercariae, and drugs were administered singly by the oral route at different dosages. Rats were dissected 2-4 weeks post-treatment and C. sinensis trematodes were removed from the liver and bile ducts and counted. We used a negative binomial regression model to test the effect of drug and dosage in terms of worm burden reduction. Single 150 mg/kg oral doses of artesunate, artemether, tribendimidine and praziquantel, administered to rats infected with adult C. sinensis, resulted in mean worm burden reductions of 100, 100, 89.5 and 80.7%, respectively (all P<0.001). Halving the dose to 75 mg/kg still resulted in highly significant worm burden reductions for artesunate, artemether and tribendimidine (71.4-100%), but not for praziquantel (20.7%). In the juvenile infection model, a single 150 mg/kg oral dose of tribendimidine and praziquantel resulted in mean worm burden reductions of 99.1 and 90.0%, respectively, whereas considerably lower reductions were observed for artemether (59.2%) and artesunate (57.6%) when used at the same single dose. The in vivo results presented here with the artemisinins and tribendimidine provide further data for clinical investigations to assess the safety and efficacy of these drugs in clonorchiasis patients.     

Schistosoma japonicum and S. mansoni: ultrastructural damage in the tegument and reproductive organs after treatment with levo- and dextro-praziquantel

Ultrastructural observations were made of changes in the tegument and reproductive organs of Schistosoma japonicum and S. mansoni from ICR mice after treatment with praziquantel (PZQ), levo-PZQ, and dextro-PZQ at a single oral dose of 500 mg/kg body weight. No marked difference in types and extent of lesions of the tegument of S. japonicum was found between the compounds regardless of the time of worm recovery after treatment. This was equally true of S. mansoni. Degeneration of the testis, ovary, and vitelline gland of S. japonicum was more prominent in worms administered PZQ and levo-PZQ than in those receiving dextro-PZQ. In S. mansoni, extensive regression of the reproductive organs was observed in male and female worms treated with PZQ and dextro-PZQ, while no serious damage was seen in worms treated with levo-PZQ.
