Stibophenis ananthelminticoriginally developed byBayerthat is used as a treatment forschistosomiasis[1]byintramuscular injection.It is classified as a trivalentantimonycompound. Brand names include Fouadin/Fuadin (named in honor ofFuad Iof Egypt, who had enthusiastically supported its research and development).[2][3]

Mechanism of action

[edit]

Stibophen inhibits the enzymephosphofructokinase,which the worms need for glycolysis,[4]at least partly by binding to thesulfhydryl(–SH) group of the enzyme.[5]Inhibiting glycolysis paralyzes the worms, which lose their hold on the wall ofmesenteric veinsand undergohepatic shift,die, and arephagocytosedby liver cells.[citation needed]
