Two naphthalein antimonial compounds were tested against Schistosoma mansoni in Swiss albino mice infected 49 days previously (100 to 130 cercariae/mouse). Antimonyl-2-hydroxy-1,3-sodium dicarboxy naphthalein displayed weak activity comparable to that of tartar emetic at 2 mg/kg body-weight. Antimonyl-2-hydroxy-3 carboxy-1-sodium acrylate naphthalein showed no antischistosomal activity.
