Praziquantel is the drug of choice for the treatment of all forms of schistosomiasis. Ningbo Zhenhai Fellow Chemical Co.,Ltd was estabilished in 2010, which is professional supplier of Chemical Raw Material and Intermediates. We also help our client to extend the business of pyridine derivatives in domestic and abroad in the past 15years. Now we have three factories located in Zhejiang, Henan and Ningxia for the producing of Chemical Raw Material and Intermediates. With good product quality and excellent service, our products have been sold to cities all over the country, and also abroad.
Although praziquantel (PZQ) has been used to treat schistosomiasis for over 20 years its mechanism of action remains unknown. We have developed an assay based on the transcriptional response of Schistosoma mansoni PR-1 to heat shock to confirm that while 6-week post-infection (p.i.) schistosomes are sensitive to PZQ, 4-week p.i. schistosomes are not.
Recently, there has been a renewed interest in studying better formulations of praziquantel, especially for small children. This stems, at least in part, from the fact that preschool-aged children are now recognized as a vulnerable population and a group for targeted treatment.
