Niclosamide is an eelicide (Iampricide) and a molluscicide (molluscicide). It is a salicylamide derivative. Its anti-insect mechanism is to inhibit the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation process in the cells of the insect body. The reduction of ATP production makes the tapeworm's head and adjacent segments deteriorate, and the worms fall off the intestinal wall and are excreted in feces. It has no effect on eggs [1]. Death knot tablets are easily digested and decomposed by proteases in the intestinal lumen, releasing eggs, which may cause cysticercosis [1]. It also kills snails and cercariae of Schistosoma japonicum. It can kill many kinds of snails, beef tapeworms (Taenia saginata), pork tapeworms (Taeniasolium), fish tapeworms Schizophaga latifolia, short hymenocysts tapeworms, and cercariae (Cercariae). In agriculture, it is mainly used to kill snails (also known as large bottle snails, apple snails, Pomacea canaliculata in English) in rice fields. At the same time, in public health control, it is used to kill Oncomelania (the intermediate host of schistosome). Niclosamide can rapidly produce metabolic changes in the water, and the action time is not long. It is also used in commercial fish farming.Application & Function
Niclosamide's metabolic effects are relevant to wide ranges of organisms, and accordingly it has been applied as a control measure to organisms other than tapeworms. For example, it is an active ingredient in some formulations such as Bayluscide for killing lamprey larvae, as a molluscide,and as a general purpose piscicide in aquaculture. Niclosamide has a short half-life in water in field conditions; this makes it valuable in ridding commercial fish ponds of unwanted fish; it loses its activity soon enough to permit re-stocking within a few days of eradicating the previous population. Researchers have found that niclosamide is effective in killing invasive zebra mussels in cool waters.
