Arpraziquantel ((R)-praziquantel) is the eutomer (the biologically active enantiomer) of praziquantel, and is a medication which is currently under investigation for the treatment of schistosomiasis in young children since it has less side effects than the usual racemic mixture formulation of praziquantel.[1]

Arpraziquantel is a therapeutic alternative on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[2]
