Hexylresorcinol as an Anthelmintic

Notes on Some Remedies. XXVII. Drugs in Helminthic Diseases, Part II

5. Hexylresorcinol.?It is a synthetic compound of pale yellow crystalline nature, probably the safest of the anthelmintics. It is very efficient in ascariasis and fairly satisfactory in oxyuriasis and ancylostomiasis. The drug can be given in freshly filled gelatine capsules or in the form of 1 crystoids ' anthelmintic pills with hard gelatine coating containing 0.1 and 0.2 gm. The dose is 1 gm...

Observations on the Efficiency of Thiabendazole as an Anthelmintic for Horses in Iran

Effects of Hexylresorcinol on Nitella

In some ways the effects of hexylresorcinol on Nitella resemble those of guaiacol but in others they differ. Both substances depress the P.D. reversibly and both decrease the potassium effect. Hexylresorcinol decreases the apparent mobility of Na(+) and of K(+). Guaiacol increases that of Na(+) but not of K(+). The action of hexylresorcinol is more striking than that of guaiacol since 0.0003 M ...

A Rapid Hplc Method for Determination of 4-hexylresorcinol Residues in Shrimp

A rapid method for the extraction, separation and quantification of the 4-hexylresorcinol from shrimp with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is described. This modified method is faster than previously described methods with short pre–preparation and sharp resolution in HPLC procedures (sample preparation, extraction, separation and quantification total 40 min.). The coefficients of...

A STUDY OF THE ANTHELMINTIC ACTIVITY OF AQUEOUS EXTRACT OF PLEUROTUS ERYNGII ON SYPHACIA OBVELATA AND HYMENOLEPIS NANA

Pleurotus eryngii is a mushroom growing in the Bakhtiari province of Iran and is known as a mountain fungus. The fresh fungus is used as a food, and when dried its powder has been used as an anthelmintic drug. We decided to study the anthelmintic activity of P. eryngii on Hymenolepis nana (cestode) and Syphacia obvelata (nematode), using experimental animals. Water extract of P. eryngii wa...
