dose of 250.0 mg/kg PZQ resulted in a WBR of 99.3%. S-PZQ was highly active in vivo at 250.0 and 500.0 mg/kg with WBRs of 83.0 and 94.1%, respectively. The lowest tested dose of S-PZQ, 125.0 mg/kg, showed [...] IC50 of 0.03 mug/ml and 1.47 mug/ml both at 4 and 72 h, respectively. In vivo, R-PZQ was the most potent drug with worm burden reductions (WBRs) of 98.5, 75.6 and 73.3% at 125.0, 62.5 and 31.0 mg/kg, [...] R-PZQ displayed the highest activity against adult worms in vitro, revealing an...
