Molecule Details
Application
Praziquantel is a potent anthelmintic used in against schistosome and many cestode infestations. It is used to study voltage-gated Ca2+ channels and is a potential small molecule neurogenic1.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Praziquantel increases the permeability of the tegmentum to Ca2+ which results in the contraction of schistosomes and death. Praziquantel causes vacuolization and disintegration of the schistosome tegument. It is more effective on adult worms than young worms. It inhibits glucose uptake, which lowers glycogen levels and stimulates lactate release
