Efficacy of seven anthelmintics against Ancylostoma ceylanicum in the golden hamster, Mesocricetus auratus.

In an experimental patent infection of Ancylostoma ceylanicum in golden hamsters the efficacy of seven anthelmintics was tested; bephenium hydroxynaphthoate, tetramisole, tetrachlorethylene, phenylene 1,4-diisothiocyanate, thiabendazole, parbendazole and mebendazole were studied. Mebendazole was the most effective, with parbendazole, phenylene 1,4-diisothiocyanate, thiabendazole and bephenium hydroxynaphthoate also satisfactory. Tetrachlorethylene and tetramisole were the least effective in our screen.

Ancylostomiasis↗

Comparative single/dose treatment of hookworm and roundworm infections with levamisole, pyrantel and bephenium*.

One-hundred and forty-five farmers aged 7-45 years who were infected with Ancylostoma duodenale and/or ascaris were treated with a single dose of levamisole, pyrantel, or bephenium. The percentage cure rates were ascaris 100 per cent ahd hookworm 93 per cent for levamisole; ascaris 90 per cent and hookworm 78 per cent for pyrantel; and ascaris 73 per cent and hookworm 81 per cent for bephenium. The 3 drugs were well tolerated.

Bephenium Compounds↗

Controlled comparative study of the efficacy of pyrantel pamoate and a combined regimen of piperazine citrate and bephenium hydroxynaphthoate in the treatment of intestinal nemathelminthiases.

Pyrantel pamoate at a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight daily for 2 or 3 days was found to be more effective against Ascaris than both a regimen of bephenium hydroxynaphthoate (2.5 g base) and piperazine citrate (2-3 g) given daily for 2 days and a placebo-treated control group. The cure rates for pyrantel were about 95% compared to 90 and 20% for the other two groups respectively. None of the drug schedules was effective against the Trichuris. The bephenium/piperazine regimen was superior to both the 2-day and 3-day courses of pyrantel pamoate against the hookworm with aggregate cure rates of 58-60% for pyrantel pamoate and 68-85% for bephenium/piperazine. The results were better than those reported earlier in the series when a single dose of pyrantel pamoate (10 mg/kg of body weight) was used. Pyrantel pamoate was well tolerated and the drug merits further studies at higher doses, particularly against the hookworm.
