Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Apr 1;18(7):2333-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.02.077. Epub 2008 Mar 6.

Abstract

New analogues of the potent antihelmintic meclonazepam were prepared and evaluated against Schistosoma mansoni. The biological data suggests substitution at positions 2 and 4 of meclonazepam could provide promising analogues for prophylactic and therapeutic activity against S. mansoni.
