    Product Description

    Paraherquamide E is a fungal metabolite originally isolated from P. charlesii with anthelmintic and insecticidal activities.1,2,3 It is lethal to C. elegans (LD50 = 6 μg/ml).1 Paraherquamide E is also lethal to O. fasciatus (LD50 = 0.089 μg/nymph).2 Oral administration of paraherquamide E (0.5-4 mg/kg) reduces T. colubriformis fecal egg count in gerbils.3
