Albendazole

It is a benzimidazole broad-spectrum anthelmintic (albendazole), which works by inhibiting microtubule polymerization in worms and blocking energy metabolism, causing paralysis and death of the worms. It is mainly used to treat gastrointestinal nematodes, lung nematodes, and some tapeworms in cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry.

描述

CAS No. 54965-21-8
Molecular Formula: C12H15N3O2S

Appearance: White to pale yellow crystalline powder, odorless; very slightly soluble in water and ethanol, soluble in glacial acetic acid, dilute mineral acids, and chloroform/DMF (slightly soluble); mp≈208~212℃

Pharmacological Action: Benzimidazole broad-spectrum nematicide (also effective against some tapeworms/trematodes). It binds to β-tubulin in the worm’s body → inhibits microtubule polymerization → blocks glucose uptake and ATP production → leading to energy depletion, paralysis, and death of the worm (especially adults). High efficacy against adult worms, and also effective against some larvae (migration stage); partially metabolized in ruminants to albendazole sulfoxide (still active).

Indications: Broad-spectrum deworming for cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry—gastrointestinal nematodes (Haemaphysalis, Osteria, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Orostachys esophagitis, Strongyloides, etc.), lungworms (Ducaria), some tapeworms (Monietzia), liver flukes (high dose/compound).

Storage conditions: Sealed, store at 0-6 ºC.
