Analysis conducted
Fenbendazole is analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with UV-visible spectrophotometric detection (HPLC-UV-Vis).
Chemical Name
- Chemical name : Methyl N-(6-phenylsulfanyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)carbamate
- Chemical formula : C15H13N3O2S
- CAS Number : 43210-67-9
Therapeutic Class
Fenbendazole belongs to the class of benzimidazole anthelmintic antiparasitic drugs. It is primarily intended for veterinary use.
Description of Therapeutic Effects
Fenbendazole is used to:
- Treat gastrointestinal nematode infestations in dogs, cats, horses, cattle, and other species.
- Treat certain tapeworms depending on the animal species involved.
- Reduce the parasite burden in livestock.
- Prevent certain reinfestations as part of veterinary treatment protocols.
Fenbendazole is generally not approved for use in humans. Any use outside of veterinary practice requires appropriate medical and regulatory advice.
Mechanism of action:
- Fenbendazole works by inhibiting the polymerization of parasitic tubulin, which blocks the worms’ energy metabolism and leads to their elimination.
