چکیده
Lasalocid, sinefungin, and dehydroepiandrosterone were tested for anticryptosporidial activity with an immunodeficient mouse model at doses that have been reported effective when tested with immunosuppressed rodent models. Small but significant reductions in oocyst excretion were only observed under some conditions with lasalocid and dehydroepiandrosterone, but sinefungin had no effect.

Bobel-24 activity against Cryptosporidium parvum in cell culture and in a SCID mouse model.
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...

متن کاملCytokine-induced killer cells eradicate bone and soft-tissue sarcomas.
Unresectable metastatic bone sarcoma and soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) are incurable due to the inability to eradicate chemoresistant cancer stem-like cells (sCSC) that are likely responsible for relapses and drug resistance. In this study, we investigated the preclinical activity of patient-derived cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells against autologous bone sarcoma and STS, including against puta...
متن کاملComparison of the Antifungal Activity of Honey and Fluconazole against Candida albicans in vitro and in an Enteric Candidiasis Mouse Model
Background & Objective: Candidiasis has gained importance due to its increasing prevalence in immunocompromised patients. Antifungal drugs such as fluconazole and amphotericin B are used for the treatment of candidiasis. One of the biggest problems faced in clinical practice is resistance for most of these drugs. The antifungal drugs derived from natural products have helped to overcome this pr...
متن کاملEvaluation of maduramicin and alborixin in a SCID mouse model of chronic cryptosporidiosis.
Two polyether ionophores, maduramicin and alborixin, were evaluated for anticryptosporidial activity in a severe combined immune deficient (SCID) mouse model of cryptosporidiosis. Groups of SCID mice were inoculated with 10(6) oocysts of bovine origin by oral gavage. Maduramicin or alborixin was administered beginning 4 weeks postinfection at 3 mg/kg of body weight per day. Maduramicin treatmen...
