Date issued/created: Subject and Keywords: Abstract:Praziquantel (PZQ) is a drug which is used by choice to schistosomiasis treatment. Currently, it is used in malaria treatment. PZQ undergoes extensive metabolism in human body, mainly in liver, by two cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes 2B1 and 3A. As a result of these biotransformations, numerous mono- and dihydroxylated derivates in B, C and D rings are formed. Only one metabolite has been identified and described, it is 4-hydroxypraziquantel (4-OH-PZQ). So far, the metabolites out of PZQ biotransformation were obtained under the influence of Ciinnighamelle echinulata and Beauveria bassiana. There were the derivatives in position C7 and in D-ring (position is unknown).
