The acetone, alcohol and aqueous extracts of fruits of Acacia nilotica (L) Willd. ex Del. (Mimosaceae) showed molluscicidal activity against Bulinus truncatus and Biomphalaria pfeifferi, the two snail species which transmit schistosomiasis in the Sudan (S. haematobium and S. mansonii). TAN, a new vegetable molluscicide prepared from the aqueous extract of the fruits of A. nilotica was produced on a pilot scale by using the spray drying procedure. Due to the high content of tannins in the powder (more than 56%), the molluscicidal properties of this plant may well be due to these compounds.
金合欢（豆科）果实的丙酮、酒精和水提取物对布氏锥实螺和小土蜗，这两种在苏丹传播血吸虫病的钉螺（曼氏血吸虫和埃及血吸虫）具有杀螺活性。TAN，一种由金合欢果实的水提取物制备的新型植物性杀螺剂，通过喷雾干燥法在中试规模上生产。由于粉末中含有高浓度的单宁（超过 56%），这种植物的杀螺特性很可能归因于这些化合物。
