MedKoo Cat#: 318394 | Name: Oxamniquine

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Oxamniquine is a DNA synthesis inhibitor for treatment of Schistosoma mansoni infections. It causes irreversible paralysis and tegumental damage in the parasite, which leads to detachment and death. In clinical studies, oxamniquine has shown cure rates of about 70–90% against S. mansoni when administered at doses of 15–20 mg/kg as a single oral dose. Pharmacokinetically, it is well absorbed, reaching peak plasma concentrations within 1–3 hours and has a half-life of about 1–2.5 hours. Oxamniquine is generally effective against both immature and mature worms but is inactive against other Schistosoma species like S. haematobium or S. japonicum.
