Abstract: In the present paper, experimental method of 31P NMR spectra quantitation of the phosphatic compounds in intact liver fluke Fasciola hepatica and its HClO4 extract is described. Some preliminary quantitative results and longitudinal relaxation times T1 of corresponding compounds are also reported. The intra-cellular pH value changes during measurement without perfusion. A per-fusion system is used to maintain Sample flukes viable. Individual peaks in 31P NMR spectra of HClO4 extract are identified. Dextrose containing and dextrose depleted media incubation experiments show significant metabolic change in sugar phosphate region of spectra. By 13C NMR spectra, one of the major compounds α-glycerophosphoeholine in 31P NMR spectra is confirmed.
