In vitro analysis demonstrated melittin's effectiveness against Entamoeba histolytica and Trichomonas vaginalis, highlighting potential treatment avenues.
Abstract The results showed that Entamoeba histolytica was killed when the concentration of 0.6 µg/micromole was 280000 amoebae/ml and killed 70%. When the concentration was 0.8 micrograms/micromole, the killing rate was 380000 amoebae/l, and the killing rate was 90.5%. The percentage of Giardia was 3 000 (6000) parasites/mL at the first concentration of 0.6 µg/micromole, and 60% at a concentration of 0.8 micromole/micromole was 7000 par0,6asites/mL. The percentage of killings was 80%. Trichomonas vaginalis. The concentration of 0.6 µg/micromole depended on parasite movement of 85%. The percentage of the last concentration was 90%, and the killing rate was determined by the concentration of venom on the parasite.
