Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biochemical Sciences Candidate: Klára Jelenková Supervisor: Ing. Petra Matoušková, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Effect of monepantel on the expression of selected enzymes in Haemonchus Contortus Barber's pole worm (Haemonchus contortus) is parasitic nematode which is the cause of haemonchosis, worldwide distributed disease of small ruminants leading to decrease in productivity and in many cases even to animals death. For prevention and treatment of this disease are used drugs for a long time - anthelmintics. Due to their frequent use and lack of innovation in this group of drugs parasites have gradually built an extensive resistance to these drugs. New hope in therapy of haemonchoses is monepantel, drug belonging to aminoacetonitrile derivatives which have unique mechanism of action. This drug was launched more than 25 years after registration of the last drug from the group of anthelmintics. Despite the initial great success information about occurrence of resistance often appear in recent years. Current knowledge about the mechanisms of resistance development and the factors that influence them is as well as information about drug action at the molecular level still insufficient. To limit the development of...
