The anticryptosporidial activity of Bobel-24 (2,4,6-triiodophenol) was studied for the first time, resulting in a reduction of the in vitro growth of Cryptosporidium of up to 99.6%. In a SCID mouse model of chronic cryptosporidiosis, significant differences (P < 0.05) in oocyst shedding were observed in animals treated with 125 mg/kg/day. These results merit further investigation of Bobel-24 as a chemotherapeutic option for cryptosporidiosis.
首次研究了Bobel-24(2,4,6-三碘苯酚)的抗隐孢子虫活性,结果使隐孢子虫的体外生长减少了高达99.6%。在慢性隐孢子虫病的SCID小鼠模型中,观察到用125毫克/千克/天治疗的动物在卵囊排出方面存在显著差异(P<0.05)。这些结果值得进一步研究将Bobel-24作为隐孢子虫病的一种化疗选择。
