Albendazole

Anti helminthic

Description

Broad-spectrum anthelmintic and antiprotozoal agent of the benzimidazole typ

Mechanism of action

Inhibitory effect on tubular polymerisation,which results in the loss of cytoplasmic microtubules. Glycogen depleted; Glucose uptake and cholinesterase secretion are impaired leading to accumulation of desecratory substances in side the cell. Decrease ATP production leads to energy depletion, immobilazation and death of worm.
