Abstract：
:The alveolar echinococcosis of human is a severe helminthic disease caused by the larva of Echinococcus multilocularis tapeworms. Novel compounds or therapy strategies for the treatment of alveolar echinococcosis are urgently needed due to the limitation of the widely used albendazole. Magnetic microspheres as drug carriers in magnetically targeted therapy of tumor have gained growing interests advantaged by delivering the drug to the aimed site, achieving localized therapeutic effect effectively under the influence of an external magnetic field. In this study, we formulated magnetic microspheres loaded with E2-a (PLGA-Fe-E2-a) and identified the activity in E. multilocularis-infected mice which infected with 3,000 protoscoleces intraperitoneally. Compared with the untreated control, with the help of a magnet, there was a significant reduction in parasite burden with PLGA-Fe-E2-a treatment and similar reduction observed with albendazole. PLGA-Fe-E2-a treatment group also showed a significant increase in the IFN-γ level and impaired morphological and ultrastructural alterations. Most importantly, one-third concentrations of E2-a from PLGA-Fe-E2 based on the release profile of E2-a was equally effective in inhibiting metacestode growth as E2-a treated group, supporting efficacy and bioavailability of a drug. It will be an alternative treatment for alveolar echinococcosis using magnetic microspheres as drug carriers.
