Studies of the mode of action of anthelmintic drugs: tools to investigate the biochemical pecularities of helminths
Les études sur les mécanismes d’action des anthelmintiques : instruments pour l’analyse des particularités des helminthes
Department of Comparative Biochemistry, Janssen Research Foundation, Turnhoutseweg, 30, B 2340 Beerse, Belgium.
An overview is given of the results from mode of action studies which improved our knowledge of some biochemical and/or electrophysiological aspects of parasitic helminths. Studies of the molecular mechanism of action of for example, antimonials, piperazine, levamisole, ivermectine, salicylanilides, praziquantel, benzimidazolecarbamates, oxamniquine and hycanthome offered tools to learn more of the parasites and their hosts.
Résumé
Un certain nombre d’acquisitions anciennes et nouvelles dans la connaissance de la biochimie et de l'électro-physiologie des helminthes sont passées en revue à partir des données obtenues lors des études sur les mécanismes d’action. Cette revue sommaire a permis de souligner l’importance des anthelmintiques tels que les dérivés de l’antimoine, la pipérazine, le lévamisole, l’ivermectine, les salicylanilides, le praziquantel, les bezimidazole-carbamates, l’oxamniquine et l’hycanthone, pour l’analyse des particularités des helminthes.
