Properties

Albendazole is a benzimidazole derivative with anthelmintic and antiprotozoal activity against intestinal and tissue parasites. Albendazole exerts larvicidal, ovocidal, and anthelmintic effects, presumably by inhibiting tubulin polymerization. This causes metabolic disturbances in helminths, including energy depletion (suppression of glucose uptake), which leads to immobilization and then destruction of susceptible helminths.

Indications
