Anthelmintic Effects of Alkylated Diamines and Amino Alcohols against Schistosoma mansoni

Figure 1

In vitro effects of active diamines 3d and 3f on the viability of the S. mansoni adult worms. Pairs of adult worms were treated with samples in different concentrations for 72 h, and the viability was measured by using the MTT assay at 550 nm. RPMI 1640 medium and 0.4% DMSO in RPMI 1640 medium were used as negative controls. Praziquantel (PZQ, 10 μM) was used as positive control group. The viability was expressed as mean of the absorbance values from four experiments. *** .
