Comparison of anti-opisthorchiasis effect of praziquantel and complexes of albendazole with arabinogalactan
Abstract
We made the comparative assessment of efficiency of praziquantel and complexes of albendazole with arabinogalactan (ABZ-AG) on Opisthorchis felineus on model of experimental opisthorchiasis. The experiments were carried out on five groups of golden hamsters Mesocricetus auratus infected with O. felineus and receiving various doses of praziquantel and complexes of albendazole with arabinogalactan. The group of the animals infected with O. felineus who weren’t receiving anti-helminthes has been used as control. The obtained data indicate that efficiency of ABZ-AG complexes is similar to therapeutic efficiency of praziquantel. Thus, results of this study confirm a possibility of the development of drugs for treatment of opisthorchiasis on the basis of intermolecular ABZAG. Besides, as praziquantel and albendazole possess different mechanisms of action on helminths, it is possible to assume that combinatory action of a praziquantel and ABZ-AG complexes be more effective on O. felineu s than individual effects of these drugs.
