Efficacy of ginkgolic acids against Cryptosporidium andersoni in cell culture.
    Parasitology research, 2011, Volume: 109, Issue:5

    Cryptosporidium is a worldwide waterborne parasite and the treatment is a severe problem in immunocompromised patients. In this study, we used the in vitro culture system to evaluate the anti-Cryptosporidium activity of ginkgolic acids (GAs), nitazoxanide (NTZ), garlicin (GAR), and artemether (ART). The growth of Cryptosporidium andersoni in HCT-8 cells was determined by real-time PCR assay. When exposed to 5.00 μg/ml GAs or 10.00 μg/ml NTZ for 48 h, the number of C. andersoni in cultures was on a very low lever, but the number of parasites did not significantly decrease when exposed to GAR and ART. Our results indicate that GAs could be a potential drug for the treatment of cryptosporidiosis.
