Structural and Functional Characterization of the Enantiomers of the Antischistosomal Drug Oxamniquine.

Structural and Functional Characterization of the Enantiomers of the Antischistosomal Drug Oxamniquine.

For over two decades, a racemic mixture of oxamniquine (OXA) was administered to patients infected by Schistosoma mansoni, but whether one or both enantiomers exert antischistosomal activity was unknown.
