Abstract:
The epidermal mucous substances of C. carassius which were extracted by ether were separated into various spots on the silica gel thin layer chromatography and separated into various fractions in the silica gel column chromatography, using petroleum ether (30 percent) and chloroform(70 percent) as a solvent. The wormicidal effects of the spots and the fractions on the cercaria, the liberating metacercaria and the adult of C. sinensis, were observed by month giving attention to ambient water temperature. Among the four spots of the thin 1ayer chromatography of the ether extracts from C. carassius, the uppermost first spots (Rf. 0.924-0965) had a strong wormicidal effect on the cercaria in May, June, July, August and September, and the cercaria which came in contact with the materials was killed in 29-49 min., but in other months (Rf. 0.612-0.752) it was killed only after 50-115 min. In column chromatography of ether extracts from C. carassius, the first fractions which had a wormicidal effect killed the metacercariae within 38-163 min. in May, June, July, August, and September, but it took about 120-458 min. to kill them in other months, meanwhile the wormicidal time of the fractions on the adults was 445-835 min. in May, June, July, August and September, but was 878-2,130 min. in other months. The Rf. value of the uppermost first spot of the thin layer chromatography of ether extrart from the mucous substance of C. carassius which was reared in the aquarium controlled at 23 C was 0.79, and its first fraction of column chromatography killed the metacercaria and the adult of C. sinensis within 315, and 1,850 min. respectively. As summarized above, the wormicidal materials of the epidermal mucous substances of C. carassius had no relation to ambient water temperature, but the secretion period of this wormicidal materials was the same as the liberating period of the cercariae from Parafossarulus manchouricus.
