Abstract

As parasites and cancer cells share many lifestyle and behavioral resemblances, repositioning of anti-cancerous agents as anti-parasitic is quite trendy, especially those sharing the same therapeutic targets. Therefore, the current study investigated the in vitro efficacy of ascending concentrations of chlorambucil (0.5-20μg/ml) against adult Schistosoma mansoni worms, over 72h. Additionally, its in vivo effects against the different developmental stages of the worm were assessed, after an oral dose of 2.5mg/kg/day for five successive days, through evaluating the worm load reduction and worms' morphological alterations and oogram changes. In addition to tissue egg count, a histopathological study of the liver was conducted. In vitro, chlorambucil demonstrated noticeable anti-schistosomal effects in the form of progressive reductions of the worms' viability in a dose dependent manner. Complete worm death was achieved at 72h incubation with 5μg/ml drug concentration. In vivo, chlorambucil induced a significant reduction in the total worm load against all developmental stages. Its highest impact was evident against the juvenile stage, where it induced 75.8% total worm load reduction, and 89.2% and 86.7% intestinal and hepatic egg counts reduction, respectively, along with ogram alterations. Besides, it induced significant shortening of both male and female worms and promoted an amelioration of hepatic histopathology. Results show that chlorambucil possesses favorable in vitro and in vivo anti-schistosomal activity. The highest in vivo efficacy was against the juvenile stage of S. mansoni, significantly superior to praziquantel, with extended potency to the adult stage. Further studies are recommended for chlorambucil target verification and to enhance its therapeutic efficacy.

摘要

由于寄生虫和癌细胞在生活方式和行为上有许多相似之处,将抗癌药物重新定位为抗寄生虫药物很流行,尤其是那些具有相同治疗靶点的药物。因此,本研究调查了不同浓度(0.5 - 20μg/ml)的苯丁酸氮芥在72小时内对曼氏血吸虫成虫的体外疗效。此外,在连续五天口服剂量为2.5mg/kg/天之后,通过评估虫体负荷减少、虫体形态改变和虫卵图谱变化,评估了其对虫体不同发育阶段的体内作用。除了组织虫卵计数外,还对肝脏进行了组织病理学研究。在体外,苯丁酸氮芥表现出显著的抗血吸虫作用,以剂量依赖性方式逐渐降低虫体活力。在5μg/ml药物浓度下孵育72小时可实现虫体完全死亡。在体内,苯丁酸氮芥可显著降低所有发育阶段的总虫体负荷。其对幼虫阶段的影响最大,可使总虫体负荷降低75.8%,肠道和肝脏虫卵计数分别降低89.2%和86.7%,同时伴有虫卵图谱改变。此外,它还可使雄虫和雌虫显著缩短,并改善肝脏组织病理学。结果表明,苯丁酸氮芥具有良好的体外和体内抗血吸虫活性。其体内最高疗效针对曼氏血吸虫幼虫阶段,明显优于吡喹酮,对成虫阶段也有延长的效力。建议进一步研究以验证苯丁酸氮芥的靶点并提高其治疗效果。
