Anti-Opisthorchis felineus effects of artemisinin derivatives: An in vitro study.

Background: The drug of choice for the treatment of opisthorchiasis caused by trematodes Opisthorchis viverrini and O. felineus is praziquantel (PZQ), but there is a constant search for new anthelmintics, including those of plant origin. Positive results on the use of artemisinin derivatives against O.

Plastoquinone-Derivative SkQ1 Improved the Biliary Intraepithelial Neoplasia during Liver Fluke Infection.

Carcinogenic food-borne liver fluke infections are a serious epidemiological threat worldwide. The major complications of infection are chronic inflammation and biliary intraepithelial neoplasia. Although evidence has accumulated that increased reactive oxygen species production is observed in liver fluke infection, a direct relationship between the oxidative stress and biliary intraepithelial neoplasia has not been shown.

Extracellular vesicles of the liver fluke stimulate the angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells.

The liver fluke is a clinically important food-borne parasite of humans. Infection with in mammals is associated with liver morbidities such as periductal fibrosis, bile duct neoplasia, and chronic inflammation. Previously we have shown that excretory-secretory products (ESP) can stimulate the healing of skin wounds in mice, which may be due to stimulated angiogenesis and extracellular matrix remodeling.

Curcumin and Its Supramolecular Complex with Disodium Glycyrrhizinate as Potential Drugs for the Liver Fluke Infection Caused by .

Opisthorchiosis is a parasitic liver disease found in mammals that is widespread throughout the world and causes systemic inflammation. Praziquantel remains the drug of choice for the treatment of opisthorchiosis, despite its many adverse effects. An anthelmintic effect is attributed to the main curcuminoid of L.
