ABSTRACT
There are few small animals models for filariasis, even more so for onchocerciasis. Therefore it is difficult to test under drug screening conditions large numbers of potentially macrofilaricidal compounds. One way around this difficulty is to use mice infected with Trichinella spiralis which by reason of anatomical location in the host would show some correlation in antinematode activity between the test and target organisms. This study investigated the activity of 16 compounds against the immature larval stage of T. spiralis. All the nine benzimidazole compounds (albendazole, flubendazole, mebendazole, oxfendazole, oxibendazole 780118, 780120, 790163, and 790392) were active, the most potent being oxfendazole. The benzothiazoles (CGP21306, CGP20376, CGP21833 and CGP24588A) also indicated some anti-nematode activity together with 35vr, an imidazopyridine, but not as marked as the benzimidazole group. However, the organic arsenical compounds (Mel Ga and Mel Ni) showed little activity and this was at a rather highly toxic level. The prospects of using the Trichinella-mouse model as a primary screen to test for potential macrofilaricides are discussed.
