Prosperities:
Albendazole is a broad spectrum multi-purpose anthelmintic. Benzimidazole. For the control of mature and developing immature forms of gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, tapeworms and adult liver fluke in cattle and sheep and fluke and roundworm eggs.
Benzimidazoles bind to nematode tubulin, a protein necessary for the formation and viability of icrotubules. This occurs primarily in absorptive intestinal cells resulting in the absence of microtubules in the intestinal cells of the nematode, with the result that these cells cannot absorb nutrients, thus causing a consequent reduction in glycogen and effective starvation of the parasites. Structural differences have been shown to exist between tubulin from mammalian and helminthes sources, resulting in the preferential toxicity of albendazole to the helminthes and not to the host. Benzimidazoles have also been shown to inhibit the fumarate reductase system of helminthes and impair energy production.
