Figure 2

Viability of protoscoleces in vitro was assessed with trypan blue staining. After treatment with alkaloidal fractions (0.5 mg/mL) from S. moorcroftiana seeds for 3 days, the representative morphology of protoscoleces are presented under light microscopy (A). After treatment with alkaloidal fractions (0.5 mg/mL) from S. moorcroftiana seeds, the viability of protoscoleces are shown (B). **p < 0.01 for E2-a vs other groups. After treatment with E2-a, the viability of protoscoleces are shown (C). **p < 0.01 for E2-a (concentration ≥ 0.025 mg/mL) vs untreated. After treatment with E2-a (0.5 mg/mL), matrine (0.5 mg/mL) and sophocarpine (0.5 mg/mL), the viability of protoscoleces are shown respectively (D). **p < 0.01 for E2-a vs other groups.
