[The technology for manufacturing antiparasitic preparations. 9. The new preparation tizanox and an evaluation of its anti-Hymenolepis activity].

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].

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.

[The search for new antiparasitic agents. 11. The acute toxicity and anticestodal activity of the new anthelmintic Tizanox compared with Azinox].

A synthesis is described and the results of toxicological trial of the potential anthelmintic agent G-1587 are presented. The agent is 2-(cyclohexylcarbonyl)-1,2,3,6,7,11b-hexahydro-2H-[1, 2,5] thiadiazino [3,2-a] isoquinoline-4,4-dioxide. The agent was shown to have a low toxicity, the maximal sublethal dose for mice being 4.

[The structure and anthelmintic action of tricyclic analogs of praziquantel and 4-acylpiperazinones-2].

The toxicity and anthelminthic activity of the earlier synthetized tricyclic analogues of praziquantel and 4-acylpiperazinones-2 have been studied. Tricyclic compounds have shown the acute toxicity similar to that of praziquantel and neurotoxic effect typical of praziquantel. 4-acylpiperazinones-2 toxicity correlated with their anthelminthic effect.
