Mice pretreated with PG cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor aspirin, at 300 mg/kg/d x 5, and ibuprofen, at 100 mg/kg/d x 5 orally and 20 mg/kg/d x 3 intraperitoneally revealed moderate chemoprophylactic effects and the reduction of the penetration of worms by 23% when compared to controls. Daily oral administration of aspirin, at 300 mg/kg for 15 days the worms reduction increased to 41.7%. In estimation of PGE1 in cercariae of S. japonicum by radioimmunoassay, the PGE1 was 49 pg/100 cercariae. In normal mouse skin PGE1 has been measured to amount to 3105 +/- 691.7 pg/10 mg on average. In cercarial penetrated mouse skin, 1.5 hours after exposure the PGE1 assessed in 100 and 250 cercariae in the infected skin were 5506 +/- 1127.1 and 12085 +/- 2622.9 pg/10 mg respectively, which were significantly higher than that of the non-penetrated skin. These studies in conjunction with our previous work indicate that: 1.PGs, similar to S. mansoni, were probably necessary for cercarial penetration. 2.PG inhibitors could reduce cercarial penetration. Receptors antagonist etc. e.g. diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine, atropine, practolol could not reduce cercarial penetration, but praziquantel in the pretreated mice could reduce cercarial penetration significantly. e.g. 400 mg/kg orally 2 hours prior to affection of cercariae about 100% reduction of the penetration, but if pretreated with praziquantel, 4, 8, 24, 36 hours prior to the affection the reduction penetration decreased to 51.7, 46.1, 9.4, 8.9% respectively.
