Praziquantel (PZQ) is currently the only agent for treating schistosomiasis, but it is plagued by suboptimal efficacy to juvenile parasites, looming drug resistance, and inability to prevent reinfection. Thioredoxin glutathione reductase (TGR) is regarded as a promising therapeutic target due to its essential role in maintaining schistosome redox homeostasis. Herein, the crystal structures of Schistosoma japonicum TGR (SjTGR) in multiple redox states and in complex with NADPH, GSH, and the anti-
