Praziquantel Tablets

This product is effective against schistosomes, tapeworms, cysticercosis, Clonorchis sinensis, Paragonimus thoracis, and Fasciola gingivalis. It has two main pharmacological effects on the worm: 1. The muscles of the worm undergo tonic contraction and produce spastic paralysis. After the schistosomes are exposed to low concentrations of praziquantel, the tension of the worm increases in just 20 seconds. When the drug concentration reaches 1 mg/L or more, the worm instantly and strongly contracts. The muscle contraction of the worm may be related to the fact that praziquantel increases the permeability of the worm cell membrane and causes the loss of intracellular calcium ions. 2. Damage to the cortex of the worm and the participation of the host immune function: Praziquantel has a rapid and obvious damage effect on the cortex of the worm, causing the syncytial epidermis to swell, vacuoles to appear, bullae to form, protruding from the body surface, and finally the epidermis erodes and ruptures, the secretory body almost disappears, and the circular muscle and longitudinal muscle also dissolve rapidly and successively. In the host, vacuolar degeneration of the worm epidermis can be seen 15 minutes after taking the drug. After the cortex is damaged, the absorption and excretion functions of the worm are affected. More importantly, its surface antigens are exposed, making it vulnerable to the host's immune attack. A large number of eosinophils attach to the lesions and invade, causing the worm to die. In addition, praziquantel can also cause secondary changes, depolarizing the worm's surface membrane, significantly reducing the activity of cortical alkaline phosphatase, inhibiting glucose uptake, and depleting endogenous glycogen. Praziquantel can also inhibit the synthesis of nucleic acid and protein in the worm.
