Fig 2. In vitro activity of P96 against males, females and juveniles of S. japonicum.
Juvenile (A), male (B), and female (C) worms were incubated with 25 μM P96, 50 μM P96 and 100 μM PZQ for 24h, 48h and 72h of incubation in drug-free medium, following the initial exposure of parasites for 16 h to each drug and subsequent washing for drug removal. The viability was assigned using a viability score of 0–3. The control group was incubated with complete DMEM with 0.1% DMSO. ****represents significant differences compared to the control group, P<0.0001. ***represents significant differences of 50 μM P96 treatment group compared to the PZQ treatment group, P<0.0001. **represents significant differences of 50 μM P96 treatment group compared to the PZQ treatment group, P<0.01. *represents significant differences of 50 μM P96 treatment group compared to the PZQ treatment group, P<0.05.
