The metabolism of anthelmintics for helminth
Cvilink, Viktor ; Skálová, Lenka (advisor) ; Holčapek, Michal (referee) ; Machala, Miroslav (referee)
Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biochemical Sciences Candidate: Mgr. Viktor Cvilink Supervisor: Doc. RNDr. Lenka Skálová, Ph.D. Title of Doctoral Thesis: METABOLISM OF ANTHELMINTICS IN HELMINTHS Anthelminthic drugs are presently the principal method for the control of helminth diseases. Knowledge of detoxification mechanisms that helminths possess is important for understanding the processes that affect the drug concentration within a helminth organism and may be crucial in the treatment efficacy. When the drug concentration in a target organism does not reach the therapeutic level, it results in a decreased efficacy of pharmacotherapy which may further lead to the induction of helminth biotransformation enzymes and eventually issue in resistance development to the administered drug. Present knowledge of helminth biotransformation enzymes is insufficient. Often it is not known whether a given individual helminth species possesses such enzymes or whether it is capable of employing them in treatment evasion. In the presented thesis, the objective was to investigate the biotransformation pathways of selected anthelminthics in model helminth species, identify the formed metabolites and characterize biotransformation enzymes of the studied parasites. Our...
