Chemical Name:
Methyl [5-(propylsulfanyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]carbamate

Description:
Albendazole is a member of the Benzimidazole group of anthelmintic agents which is an ideal broad spectrum anthelmintic. Albendazole inhibits polymerization of tubulin, causes loss of cytoplasmic microtubules that leads to impaired uptake of glucose, depletes glycogen stores, degenerative changes in the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria & decrease production of ATP. It also inhibits the enzyme fumarate reductase, which is a co-enzyme in many cellular oxidation-reduction reactions resulting in no energy production and immobilization and death of parasites.
