  • Procox (As Published in May 2011)
    3 May 2011 EMA/CVMP/236066/2011 Veterinary Medicines and Product Data Management Scientific discussion This module reflects the initial scientific discussion for the approval of Procox (as published in May 2011). For information on changes after this date please refer to module 8. 1. Summary of the dossier Procox, an oral suspension, contains the active substances emodepside and toltrazuril and is presented in bottles of 7.5 ml or 20 ml. The target species is dogs (puppies). It is indicated for dogs suffering from, or at risk from, mixed parasitic infections caused by roundworms and coccidia of certain specified species. The applicant for this veterinary medicinal product is Bayer Animal Health GmbH, Germany. The product was eligible for the Centralised procedure under Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 726/2004. The two active substances in Procox are emodepside (0.9 mg/ml) and toltrazuril (18 mg/ml). Emodepside is a depsipeptide antiparasiticide which acts at the neuromuscular junction by stimulating presynaptic receptors belonging to the secretin receptor family, resulting in paralysis and death of the parasites. Toltrazuril is an anticoccidial which acts against all intracellular development stages of the coccidia, resulting in their death. The benefits of Procox are its efficacy against the replication of coccidia and the shedding of oocysts at all stages of coccidial infection. The most common side effects are slight and transient digestive tract disorders, such as vomiting or loose stools. The approved indication is: For dogs, when mixed parasitic infections caused by roundworms and coccidia of the following species are suspected or demonstrated: Roundworms (Nematodes): - Toxocara canis (mature adult, immature adult, L4) - Uncinaria stenocephala (mature adult) - Ancylostoma caninum (mature adult) Coccidia: - Isospora ohioensis complex - Isospora canis Procox is effective against the replication of Isospora and also against the shedding of oocysts.

  • Review Article a BRIEF REVIEW on the MODE of ACTION of ANTINEMATODAL DRUGS
    Acta Veterinaria-Beograd 2017, 67 (2), 137-152 UDK: 615.284.03 DOI: 10.1515/acve-2017-0013 Review article A BRIEF REVIEW ON THE MODE OF ACTION OF ANTINEMATODAL DRUGS ABONGWA Melanie, MARTIN Richard J., ROBERTSON Alan P.* Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011, USA (Received 01 May, Accepted 24 May 2017) Anthelmintics are some of the most widely used drugs in veterinary medicine. Here we review the mechanism of action of these compounds on nematode parasites. Included are the older classes of compounds; the benzimidazoles, cholinergic agonists and macrocyclic lactones. We also consider newer anthelmintics, including emodepside, derquantel and tribendimidine. In the absence of vaccines for most parasite species, control of nematode parasites will continue to rely on anthelmintic drugs. As a consequence, vigilance in detecting drug resistance in parasite populations is required. Since resistance development appears almost inevitable, there is a continued and pressing need to fully understand the mode of action of these compounds. It is also necessary to identify new drug targets and drugs for the continued effective control of nematode parasites. Key words: anthelmintic, parasite, benzimidazoles, avermectins, cholinergic, emodepside, derquantel INTRODUCTION Anthelmintics are drugs that are used to treat infections caused by parasitic worms (helminths) [1]. There are three major groups of helminths namely: nematodes (roundworms), trematodes (fl ukes) and cestodes (tapeworms). These groups of helminths are divided into two phyla; nematodes (roundworms) and platyhelminths (trematodes and cestodes) [2]. Anthelmintics either kill worms or cause their expulsion from the body, without causing any signifi cant damage to the host [3].

A constitutively active G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptor regulates motility of larval Schistosoma mansoni Abstract The neuromuscular system of helminths controls a variety of essential biological processes and therefore represents a good source of novel drug targets. The neuroactive substance, acetylcholine controls movement of Schistosoma mansoni but the mode of action is poorly understood. Here, we present first evidence of a functional G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptor in S. mansoni, which we have named SmGAR. A bioinformatics analysis indicated that SmGAR belongs to a clade of invertebrate GAR-like receptors and is related to vertebrate muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.

The mode of action of cyclooctadepsipeptides is only partially understood, but involves the latrophilin Lat-1 receptor and the voltage- and calcium-activated potassium channel Slo-1. Genetic evidence suggests that emodepside exerts its anthelmintic activity predominantly through Slo-1. Indeed, slo-1 deficient Caenorhabditis elegans strains are completely emodepside resistant. However, direct effects of emodepside on Slo- 1 have not been reported and these channels have only been characterized for C. elegans and related Strongylida.
