How to use
In Vitro:
Diloxanide furoate (1.95-2.5 μg/ml) has potent activity against different strains of E. histolytica, it is against BYso (grown with bacteria), SFL3 (grown with Chrithidia sp.), and SFL3 (grown axenically) with MIC values of 2.5 μg/ml, 2.5 μg/ml and 1.95 μg/ml, respectively.
In Vivo:
Diloxanide furoate (oral administraion; 75-200 mg/kg; 3 days; once daily) is effective at different dose of dayin weanling rats. At 200 mg/kg, 100% of the treated rats are cured and no amoebic lesions are observed in the caecum. Besides, 85%,77%, and 44.4% of the treated rats are cured at the dose 150 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, and 75 mg/kg, respectively. The ED50 value is 77.9 mg/kg for this agent in rats.
