[Activity of the anthelmintic agent trichlorophen on the models of human helminthiasis].

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.

[The new agent G-1724: synthesis and test on murine models of trichuriasis and trichinosis].

To search for new antihelminthics, the new compound N-[3-chloro-4-[(1-ethyl-2-benzimidazolyl) thio]phenyl]-2-hydroxy-3,5-dibromobenzamide (the agent G-1724) was synthesized and tested by using the models of trichocephaliasis (Trichocephalus muris) and trichinosis (Trichinella spiralis). The tests demonstrated that this agent had an nematocidal effect (71-78%).
