CAS 31430-15-6: Flubendazole
Description:Flubendazole is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic agent primarily used in veterinary medicine to treat parasitic infections in animals, particularly in livestock. It belongs to the benzimidazole class of compounds and exhibits its pharmacological effects by inhibiting the polymerization of tubulin, which disrupts the microtubule formation necessary for cell division in parasites. This mechanism leads to the immobilization and eventual death of the parasites. Flubendazole is typically administered orally and is known for its low toxicity in mammals, making it a preferred choice for treating various helminth infections. The compound is characterized by its relatively low solubility in water, which can affect its bioavailability. It is often formulated in various dosage forms, including powders and granules, for ease of administration. Additionally, flubendazole has been studied for its potential applications in human medicine, particularly in treating certain types of parasitic infections, although its primary use remains in veterinary contexts. Its CAS number, 31430-15-6, is a unique identifier that facilitates the identification and regulation of this chemical substance in various databases.
