Protection of Fasciola hepatica against flukicidal action of the amine of diamphenethide in vitro. 1981

S R Edwards, and A J Campbell, and M Sheers, and R J Moore, and P E Montague

A variety of compounds structurally related to serotonin and dopamine were tested for their ability to protect adult liver flukes against the flukicidal effect in vitro of an active metabolite of diamphenethide (diamphenethide-amine). The most effective was dopamine. The protective effect of dopamine was also assessed by analysis of the metabolite and adenine nucleotide levels and excretory products of flukes exposed to diamphenethide-amine in vitro. Most notably, dopamine appeared to depress considerably the large elevation of internal malate which is a characteristic effect of diamphenethide-amine on liver flukes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003957 Diamfenetide Anthelmintic. It has been shown to be useful in fasciola infections in sheep. Diamphenethide,Acemidophen,Coriban,Di-(2-(4-acetamidophenoxy)ethyl) Ether
D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action. Hydroxytyramine,3,4-Dihydroxyphenethylamine,4-(2-Aminoethyl)-1,2-benzenediol,Dopamine Hydrochloride,Intropin,3,4 Dihydroxyphenethylamine,Hydrochloride, Dopamine
D004734 Energy Metabolism The chemical reactions involved in the production and utilization of various forms of energy in cells. Bioenergetics,Energy Expenditure,Bioenergetic,Energy Expenditures,Energy Metabolisms,Expenditure, Energy,Expenditures, Energy,Metabolism, Energy,Metabolisms, Energy
D005210 Fasciola hepatica A species of helminth commonly called the sheep liver fluke. It occurs in the biliary passages, liver, and gallbladder during various stages of development. Snails and aquatic vegetation are the intermediate hosts. Occasionally seen in man, it is most common in sheep and cattle.

D000083 Acetanilides Compounds based on N-phenylacetamide, that are similar in structure to 2-PHENYLACETAMIDES. They are precursors of many other compounds. They were formerly used as ANALGESICS and ANTIPYRETICS, but often caused lethal METHEMOGLOBINEMIA. Acetylanilines,N-Phenylacetamides
D000980 Antiplatyhelmintic Agents Agents used to treat cestode, trematode, or other flatworm infestations in man or animals. Antiplatyhelmintic Drugs,Antiplatyhelmintics,Agents, Antiplatyhelmintic,Drugs, Antiplatyhelmintic
D014200 Trematoda Class of parasitic flukes consisting of subclasses Aspidogastrea and Digenea. The digenetic trematodes are the only ones found in man. They are endoparasites and require two hosts to complete their life cycle. Aspidogastrea,Digenea,Flukes,Petasiger,Echinochasmus,Himasthla,Paryphostomum,Troglotrema,Aspidogastreas,Digeneas,Fluke,Himasthlas,Paryphostomums,Petasigers,Trematodas,Troglotremas
