Schistosoma mansoni: Schistosomicidal effect of mefloquine and primaquine in vitro

We investigated the effects of the anti-malarials mefloquine and primaquine against the juvenile and adult life stages of Schistosoma mansoniin vitro. Cercariae were incubated with 0.5 μg/ml, 1 μg/ml and 2 μg/ml mefloquine or primaquine and with 1 μg/ml praziquantel for 12 h. Schistosomula, pre-adults and adults were incubated with 0.5 μg/ml, 1 μg/ml and 2 μg/ml mefloquine or primaquine and with 1 μg/ml praziquantel for 7 days. The viability status was classified as viable, damaged or dead and was checked every 3 h for cercariae and every 12 h for schistosomula, pre-adults and adults. Both, mefloquine and primaquine show time and dose-dependent schistosomicidal effects on the four life stages of S. mansoni. The promising in vitro effects on all stages of the blood fluke S. mansoni warrants further evaluation of both anti-malarials and their derivatives for their prophylactic and therapeutic values in early and late schistosomiasis in field trials.

Schistosoma mansoni: Antischistosomal activity of the four optical isomers and the two racemates of mefloquine on schistosomula and adult worms in vitro and in vivo

Recent studies have shown that mefloquine (MQ) reveals interesting antischistosomal properties. We examined the antischistosomal activities of the erythro and threo isomers and racemates of MQ on newly transformed schistosomula (NTS) and adult Schistosoma mansoni in vitro and in mice harbouring adult S. mansoni. The in vitro effects in the presence and absence of haemin were monitored by means of microcalorimetry, scanning electron microscopy and phenotypic evaluation. Incubation of NTS with the erythro derivatives at concentrations of 3 μg/ml and above resulted in convulsions, granularity, decrease in heat flow, and death while NTS incubated with the threo derivatives were only affected at high concentrations (100 μg/ml). Extensive tegumental alterations, decrease in metabolic activity, viability, and death were observed when adult schistosomes had been exposed to 10 μg/ml of the erythro compounds. Moderate tegumental and viability changes but reduced heat production rates were observed with the threo derivatives at 10 μg/ml. In the presence of haemin, all MQ derivatives showed pronounced antischistosomal properties against adult S. mansoni in vitro. In vivo, MQ derivatives achieved statistically significant total and female worm burden reductions ranging between 65.4% and 100%. The highest total worm burden reductions of 93.4% and 90.2% were observed following treatment with the erythro and threo racemates, respectively. In conclusion, the optical isomers and racemates of MQ show only moderate stereoselectivity, in particular in vivo. Our results may enhance our understanding of the mechanism of action and therapeutic profile of MQ derivates on schistosomes.

Effects of condensed tannins in white clover flowers on their digestion in vitro

Protein in white clover (Trifolium repens L.) is poorly utilised by ruminants because of its extensive degradation to ammonia in the rumen. However, white clover produces condensed tannins (CT) in its flowers, which can reduce rumen proteolysis. Effects of increasing proportions of clover dry matter (DM) as flowers (and therefore floral CT) on soluble protein, ammonia and volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations were determined with in vitro incubations. Minced mixtures of 0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 g/kg of DM as white clover flower (F) with the remainder as white clover leaf, were incubated in vitro and sampled after 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h. Treatments contained 0, 13, 26, 39 and 52 g CT/kg DM, respectively. A further treatment with 500 g/kg DM as flower and 500 g/kg DM as leaf had polyethylene glycol added to remove effects of CT. Increasing the proportion of white clover as flowers from 0 to 1000 g/kg DM reduced net conversion of plant N to ammonia N from 290 to 120 mM/M at least partly due to reduced solubility of the protein. Treatments with 750 g/kg DM or more as clover flowers reduced ammonia concentrations to levels likely to limit microbial growth. Total VFA production was not affected by flower content, although the proportion of acetate to propionate increased. The contribution of CT to treatment effects was small compared to effects attributed to difference in chemical composition between flowers and leaves.

Effect of enzyme extracts isolated from white-rot fungi on chemical composition and in vitro digestibility of wheat straw

A series of in vitro experiments were completed to evaluate the potential of enzyme extracts, obtained from the white-rot fungi Trametes versicolor (TV1, TV2), Bjerkandera adusta (BA) and Fomes fomentarius (FF), to increase degradation of cell wall components of wheat straw. The studies were conducted as a completely randomized design and analysed using one-way ANOVA. Enzyme activities of the extracts, previously obtained from a liquid culture medium, were characterized in terms of laccase and peroxidase for ligninolytic activity. Carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) and avicell digesting cellulase (Avicelase) were used for cellulolytic enzyme assays. Wheat straw samples were incubated with enzyme extracts in a citrate buffer (pH 5.0) in a forced air oven at 25 °C for 6 days. In vitro NDF digestibility (IVNDFD), and the rate and extent of NDF fermentation, without and after incubation with the white-rot enzyme extracts, were determined using a gravimetric microbiological method and a gas production technique, respectively. Results from cell wall chemical composition showed that TV2 and BA enzyme extracts decreased NDF concentration (P<0.05) and that TV1 had higher activity (P<0.05) towards cellulose. There was an increase in IVNDFD (P<0.05), resulting from treatment of wheat straw with enzyme extracts from BA, TV1 and TV2, reaching a difference of 13% for TV2 (P<0.05), versus the non-treated straw control. Treatment with enzyme extract from TV2 caused increased gas production (P<0.05) after the first 20 h of incubation, and also increased the maximum rate of gas production, thus enhancing fermentation kinetics. This study indicates that enzyme extracts from white-rot fungi can be used to develop new approaches to overcome low digestibility of some plant cell walls. Utilization of different substrates to produce enzyme extracts can lead to production of viable ligninolytic complexes which could improve the nutritive value of fibrous feeds.

In vitro biohydrogenation of four dietary fats

This study was designed to determine in vitro rates of biohydrogenation of dietary unsaturated fatty acids by a mixed population of rumen microbes. The four dietary fats [Alifet High-Energy^® (AHE), Alifet-Repro^® (AR), Megalac^® (MG), and Energy Booster^® (EB)] differ in method of preparation, fatty acid composition, or both of these factors. Dietary fats (20 mg) were incubated with 4 mL strained rumen fluid diluted with 16 mL of medium, 0.8 mL of reducing solution buffer, and 200 mg of a synthetic diet (370 g cellulose, 370 g starch, and 160 g casein per kg DM) at 37 °C. Total contents were collected after 0, 6, 12, 24, or 36 h and change in fatty acid content determined. Disappearance of oleic acid was minimal (0.05–0.20) in AR and MG but moderate (about 0.60) in AHE and EB after 36 h of incubation. Rate of biohydrogenation of linoleic and linolenic acids from AR were similar (0.025 ± 0.009 h⁻¹) and 0.65 of these fatty acids remained intact after 36 h. Rate of biohydrogenation of linoleic acid was four times greater than for oleic acid (0.040 ± 0.013 h⁻¹ versus 0.009 ± 0.002 h⁻¹) in MG. Thus, 0.65 of the linoleic acid but only 0.20 of the oleic acid had disappeared from MG after 36 h. Trans-11 and trans-12 were the predominant trans-isomers in AHE and AR cultures whereas trans-9 and trans-10 were the predominant trans-isomers in EB and MG cultures. None of the dietary fats contained conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) but CLA was present in the incubation inoculum. The amount of CLA decreased with time but this was not affected by source of dietary fat. Most (0.90–0.95) of the long-chain fatty acids eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) in AR remained after 36 h of incubation. Results demonstrate that biohydrogenation varied among fatty acids and among source of dietary fat and indicate that AR can be used to increase post-ruminal supply of linolenic, EPA and DHA.     

The effect of blueberry extracts on Giardia duodenalis viability and spontaneous excystation of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts, in vitro

The protozoan parasites Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium parvum are common causes of diarrhoea, worldwide. Effective drug treatment is available for G. duodenalis, but with anecdotal evidence of resistance or reduced compliance. There is no effective specific chemotherapeutic intervention for Cryptosporidium. Recently, there has been renewed interest in the antimicrobial properties of berries and their phenolic compounds but little work has been done on their antiparasitic actions. The effect of various preparations of blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) extract on G. duodenalis trophozoites and C. parvum oocysts were investigated. Pressed blueberry extract, a polyphenolic-rich blueberry extract, and a commercially produced blueberry drink (Bouvrage) all demonstrated antigiardial activity. The polyphenol-rich blueberry extract reduced trophozoite viability in a dose dependent manner. At 167 μg ml⁻¹, this extract performed as well as all dilutions of pressed blueberry extract and the Bouvrage beverage (9.6 ± 2.8% live trophozoites remaining after 24 h incubation). The lowest dilution of blueberry extract tested (12.5% v/v) contained >167 μg ml⁻¹ of polyphenolic compounds suggesting that polyphenols are responsible for the reduced survival of G. duodenalis trophozoites. The pressed blueberry extract, Bouvrage beverage and the polyphenolic-rich blueberry extract increased the spontaneous excystation of C. parvum oocysts at 37 °C, compared to controls, but only at a dilution of 50% Bouvrage beverage, equivalent to 213 μg ml⁻¹ gallic acid equivalents in the polyphenolic-rich blueberry extract. Above this level, spontaneous excystation is decreased. We conclude that water soluble extracts of blueberries can kill G. duodenalis trophozoites and modify the morphology of G. duodenalis and C. parvum.
