Synthesis, in vitro schistosomicidal activity and ultrastructural alterations caused by thiosemicarbazones and thiazolidinones against juvenile and adult Schistosoma mansoni worms (Sambon, 1907).

Schistosomiasis is a neglected disease that affects about 258 million people worldwide. Caused by Schistosoma mansoni, helminth which, in Brazil, it is present on 19 states and capital. Praziquantel (PZQ) treatment presents low efficacy and adverse effects in parasites juvenile stages.

Evaluation of anti-inflammatory effect of derivative (E)-N-(4-bromophenyl)-2-(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)-thiosemicarbazone.

The present study aimed to further investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of (E)-N-(4-bromophenyl)-2-(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)-thiosemicarbazone (BTTSC) as well as its antinociceptive effects. The anti-inflammatory activity was assessed using the model of ear edema induced by croton oil-induced and also evaluated in models of paw edema carrageenan-induced and by compound 48/80. Evaluation of the antinociceptive effect was performed through formalin test.
