Researchers from Brazil discovered that survival of the parasitic worm that cause the disease schistosomiasis, depends on expression of a specific type of RNA. In animal trials, inhibition of the molecule interrupted the infection.
Researchers have found a quinoxaline-core containing, non-genotoxic lead compound that could treat schistosomiasis following optimisation.
Investigators found that red propolis can kill schistosomes at all stages of development and therefore suggest it could be highly effective for treating schistosomiasis.
The developers of a temporary coating which adheres to the small intestine demonstrated it could be modified to deliver drugs, aid digestion and stop absorption of glucose.
