Schistosomicidal activity of six phthalimido-thiazoles derivatives with substitutions at the position three of the thiazole ring were analyzed in an experimental model. The substituents biphenyl (2i) and 2- naphthyl (2j) at a concentration of 80 µg/mL caused 100% mortality of the parasite in culture after 24 h and 48 h respectively. An evaluation of ultrastructural parasites showed damage in the tegument, formation of bubbles and partial destruction of the tubercles. The in vivo anti-parasitic activity with the derivate 2i was performed by administering it orally and intraperitoneally in a 400 mg/kg/5days regimen. Decreases in the number of eggs in the gut (45.1%) and a reduction of the percentage of mature (23.7%) and increased unviable (53.8%) eggs were observed. Our results also showed a reduction in the number of recovered worms after treatment with 2i (oral administration: 81, 25%). The results demonstrated that the prototypes which were tested had a significant anti-schistosomal effect against S. mansoni, suggesting that these derivatives are promising candidates for further research into the chemotherapy of schistosomiasis.
