Design, synthesis and evaluation of praziquantel analogues and new molecular hybrids as potential antimalarial and anti-schistosomal agents (Publications)
Malaria and schistosomiasis are two of the neglected tropical diseases that persistently wreak havoc worldwide. Although many antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine are readily available, the emergence
Histopathological changes in adult <em>Schistosoma japonicum</em> harbored in mice treated with a single dose of mefloquine (Publications)
New research has shown that mefloquine, an arylaminoalcohol used against malaria, is active against Schistosoma japonicum and Schistosoma mansoni in vivo. To enhance our understanding of the potential
