CAS 7187-62-4

Pyrvinium

Description:

Pyrvinium, with the CAS number 7187-62-4, is a synthetic compound primarily recognized for its anthelmintic properties, particularly in the treatment of intestinal parasitic infections. It belongs to the class of compounds known as quaternary ammonium salts. Pyrvinium is characterized by its bright red color and is often used in formulations for treating pinworm infections, especially in pediatric patients. The mechanism of action involves the disruption of the energy metabolism of the parasites, leading to their paralysis and subsequent elimination from the host. In addition to its anthelmintic effects, pyrvinium has been studied for potential applications in cancer therapy due to its ability to inhibit certain cellular pathways. It is typically administered orally and is well-absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. Safety and efficacy profiles have been established, although side effects may occur, including gastrointestinal disturbances. Overall, pyrvinium represents a valuable therapeutic agent in both parasitology and oncology research.
