CAS 60200-06-8: clorsulon
Description:Clorsulon is a synthetic sulfonamide compound primarily used as an anthelmintic agent, particularly in veterinary medicine for the treatment of liver fluke infections in livestock. It is characterized by its broad-spectrum efficacy against various trematodes, particularly Fasciola hepatica. Clorsulon functions by inhibiting the enzyme phosphofructokinase, disrupting the glycolytic pathway in the parasites, which ultimately leads to their death. The compound is typically administered orally and is known for its low toxicity to mammals, making it a safe option for treating infected animals. Clorsulon is often used in combination with other antiparasitic agents to enhance its effectiveness and reduce the likelihood of resistance development. Its chemical structure features a sulfonamide group, which is integral to its mechanism of action. Additionally, clorsulon is stable under normal storage conditions, contributing to its practicality in veterinary applications. Overall, clorsulon represents an important tool in managing parasitic infections in livestock, contributing to animal health and agricultural productivity.
