Recovery of the Hepatic Drug-Metabolizing Capacity in Mice Infected with Schistosoma Mansoni Following Curative Chemotherapy with the Schistosomicide 4-Isothiocyano-4'-Nitro-Diphenylamine (CGP 4540)*

Treatment of mice infected with Schistosoma mansoni with a single oral dose of formulated 4-isothiocyano-4'-nitro-diphenylamine (CGP 4540) restored the capacity of the liver of these animals to metabolize certain drugs. Full recovery required 35–40 weeks. Administration of CGP 4540 to non-infected animals produced no significant changes in the activities of some hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes.

Accepted for publication June 3, 1978.
