Albendazole

Chemical Name:	(5-(Propylthio)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)carbamic acid methyl ester
Molecular Formula:	C₁₂H₁₅N₃O₂S
Molecular Weight:	265.3294
CAS No.:	54965-21-8
Chemical Structure:
Specification:	EP/USP/CP
Pharmacodynamic Properties:	Albendazole is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic for humans and animals. It works by interfering with proteins in either the worm’s intestine or absorptive cells. This leads to the worm not being able to absorb sugar (glucose), which are essential for its survival. Therefore the energy stores of the worm are depleted, and this leads to its eventual death within several days. It is used to treat Hydatid disease (echinococcosis) and infection of the nervous system caused by pork tapeworms (neurocysticercosis), also for Hookworm, Ascariasis, Whipworm and Strongyloidiasis.
Storage:	Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area.

Properties

The highly effective broad-spectrum insect repellent is one of the benzimidazole drugs with wide insect repellent spectrum and the strongest insecticidal effect. It is suitable for expelling roundworm, pinworm, hookworm and whipworm, treating various types of cysticercosis, and also for expelling worms of livestock.
