I] Antimonial drugs: Antimony potassium tartarate, Stipophen, Sodium
stipocaptate.
(containing trivalent antimony).
II] Non antimonial drugs: classified chemically into the following classes:
Quinoline derivatives: Oxamniquine, Praziquantil (broad spectrum
anthelmintic).
Thioxanthenone derivatives: Lucanthone, Hycanthone.
Organic phosphates: Metrifonate.
Nitro heterocyclic derivatives: Niridazole.

Uses
Used formerly for treatment of S. Japonicum
Stibophen
Alternative drug for S. Mansoni
Sod stibocaptate
Effective against the 3 forms of schistosoma.(japonicum, mansoni,
haematopium)
Mechanism of action
antimonial drugs inhibit phosphofructokinase enzyme that is
involved in glycolysis what lead to their death.(by covalent binding
with SH gp)
* Host phosphofructokinase is less sensitive 80 times to these drugs
than that of schistosoma and so these drugs exhibit selective
toxicity.
Generally all antimonial compounds are not used now due to their
toxicity and main side effects.
The trivalent are generally more toxic than pentavalent ones as former
are poorly absorbed from the GIT and also less excreted.

Oxamniquine.
Uses: Used for treatment of S. Mansoni.
Mechanism of action: It inhibit DNA, RNA and protein synthesis
Oxamniquine is biotransformed into inactive 6-carboxymethyl and so 6hydroxymethyl group is important for activity.
Praziquantel.
Uses: Broad spectrum anthelmintic drug used in:
1) All types of schistosoma.
2) Treatment of intestinal and liver flukes.
3) Treatment of taeniasis and no purgative is needed after its
administration.
Mechanism of action: The drug increases the permeability of the worm
cell membrane to the Ca++ ions what causes massive contractions and
paralysis of the fluke musculature, followed by phagocytosis of the
parasite.

Hycanthone & Lucanthone.
Uses: Treatment of S. Haematobium., S. Mansoni
But now, they are seldom used as they have mutagenic and carcinogenic
activity.
Hycanthone is the metabolic product of lucanthone and it is less toxic and more
active than lucanthone.

Uses:Alternative drug for treatment of S. Haematobium.**
It is not used now due to its severe side effects, praziquantel is used
instead of it,
cause side effects that are due to parasympathetic system stimulation,
diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, vertigo, vomiting, others.
Mechanism of action: It is an acetyl choline esterase inhibitor, causes
persistant depolarization of the musculature of parasite, causing paralysis
followed by phagocytosis.
