The anthelminthic effect of phenylene-diisothiocyanate-(1,4)(=Jonit) was studied on the eighty three cases infected with Ancylostoma duodenale. For the evalution, the number of eggs per gram of feces on all these cases was calculated before treatment. The follow-up for the egg reduction was carried out over a period of four weeks. The sixty-seven cases were treated in dosage schedule of 3 x 100 mg every 12 hours. The cure rates - the rate of negative conversion of eggs - was 74.6 percent and the total egg reduction rate of 94.2% was obtained. The ten out of 14 cases treated in the dosage schedule of 2 x 100 mg every 12 hours showed 100% egg reduction and the cure rate was 71.4%. In this group. the total egg reduction rate of 78.6% was noted. In the dosage schedule of 2 x 50 mg every 12 hours the remainder, two out of total 83 cases showed 100% egg reduction. Side effects were observed as being mild, 51 cases (56.6%) were free of side reactions and the most frequently noted side effects were vertigo and diarrhea. From the above results, it is concluded that Jonit is an effective antheminthic against Ancylostoma duodenale and its effectiveness is quite equivalent to that of a known recommended anti-hookworm products.

A new anthelmintic, amidantel(Bay d 8815), an acetylated p-amino-phenyl-acetamidine was tried in 140 patients with Ancylostoma duodenale and other helminth infections. In the first trial, each 16 cases in 64 patients with A. duodenale were treated with 3.0, 6.0 and 9.0 or 10.0 mg/kg body weight of amidantel including placebo control. Another 76 patients infected with hookworms and other helminths were treated with 5.0, 6.0 and 8.0 mg/kg body weight of amidantel in the second trial. In order to assess the efficacy and safety of the drug, follow-up examination by repeated and replicated examinations over three consecutive days were performed at 14 to 16 days and 28 to 30 days after treatment, And complete laboratory studies including ECG were carried out before and one day after the medication. In the results, it was confirmed that amidantel is very effective against A. duodenale as well as Ascaris lumbricoides. With regard to dosage, a single dose of 6.0 mg/kg body weight of amidantel was found to be the most effective and well tolerated than the other dosages employed. In a single dose of 6.0 mg/kg body weight the cure rates were 93.8 and 96.6 per cent for A. duodenale infection and 90.9 and 93.1 per cent for ascariasis in the first and second trials respectivley. Relatively significant activity was also observed against Necator americanus at the dosages employed, however it was not superior to other drugs currently use. No significant activity was noted against Trichuris trichiura. Side effects including headache, nausea, dizziness and abdominal discomfort were usually mild and transient. No significant changes attributable to therapy were observed in hematology, blood biochemistry and urinalysis as well as ECG.

: A clinical trial of Korean Patent mebendazole was undertaken upon some intestinal helminthic infections in 288 rural Koreans residing in Pochun and Jinyang Gun, from November to December, 1976. They were examined by the cellophane thick smear technique, Stoll's egg counting technique and/or Scotch-tape anal swab before and 3 weeks after the treatment. The administered dose of mebendazole was 600 mg, divided by 100 mg, twice daily for 3 consecutive days disregarding the body weight and the age of the cases. It was confirmed that mebendazole is very effective, broad-spectrum anthelmintic, especially against Ascaris, Ancylostoma, Trichostrongylus and Enterobius infections. Their negative conversion rate and egg reduction rate were respectively; 94.0 and 99.6 per cent in Ascaris, 71.4 and 97.3 per cent in Ancylostoma and 95.0 and 100 per cent in Trichostrongylus. The negative conversion rate in Enterobius was 92.3 per cent. The anthelmintic efficacy against T. trichiura infection was not satisfactory in spite of low worm burden (negative conversion rate, 27.3%, egg reduction rate, 65.5%).

Present trial was carried out to evaluate the anthelmintic efficacy of oxantel/pyrantel tablets against intestinal nematode infections, and to determine the efficacy of oxantel tablels against Trichuris infection. A total of 34 subjects with the mixed infections were treated with oxantel/pyrantel tablets (100 mg/tablet each) in a single dose of 15 mg/kg body weight, and another group of 22 Trichuris infected cases received oxantel pamoate tablets (125 mg/tablet) in a single dose of 15 mg/kg. All stool examinations were done before the treatment and 3 weeks after the treatment. The cellophane thick smear (Kato's technique) and Stoll's dilution egg counting method were employed. The results of the trial were summarized as follows: The cure rates (egg negative conversion rates) and egg reduction rates for oxantel/pyrantel tablets were 85.3 percent and 97 percent in trichuriasis, 100 percent each in ascariasis and ancylostomiasis. The oxantel tablet treated group demonstrated a cure rate of 90.9 percent and an egg reduction rate of 96.3 percent in the treatment of Trichuris. There were no detectable objective and subjective side effects in this trial. Both oxantel/pyrantel and oxantel pamoate tablets were readily accepted and well tolerated.
