| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Meclonazepam-d4, is the labeled analogue of Meclonazepam (M202790), a drug of a benzodiazepine class similar in structure to Clonazepam (C587080). It has sedative and anxiolytic properties. It has also shown to have anti-parasitic effects against the parasitic worm Schistosoma mansoni. | [in vivo]
Meclonazepam (0.1-5.6 mg/kg) exhibits anxiolytic effect in gerbils[1].
Meclonazepam (40 and 80 mg/kg) Has highly significant effect on the immature schistosomes[2]. | Animal Model: | Adult experimentally naive male Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus)[1] | | Dosage: | 0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, 5.6 mg/kg | | Administration: | Administration intraperitoneally (IP) 5 min prior to training onset. | | Result: | The ED50 of 0.77-0.78 mg/kg at the 5 min post-injection (p.i.).
|
| Animal Model: | CB6F1 mice were infected with single-sex male S. mansoni cercariae 28 days before treatment[2] | | Dosage: | 40 and 80 mg/kg | | Administration: | Administered by gavage either as single drugs or in a sequence consisting of 1 dose of Praziquantel (PZQ), a 5-min interval, 1 dose of Ro, a 15-min interval, a second dose of PZQ. | | Result: | PZQ had no significant effect on the immature schistosomes, whereas Ro 11-3128 was highly effective.
