Abstract excerpt
The cyclo-octadepsipeptide anthelmintic, emodepside, has pleiotropic effects on the behaviour of the model genetic animal Caenorhabditis elegans: it inhibits locomotion, feeding, egg-laying and slows development. Previous studies on pharyngeal muscle indicated a role for latrophilin-dependent signalling and therefore prompted the suggestion that this is a common effector of this drug's actions. However, whilst a...
