Description

2-Methyl-1H-benzimidazol-5-ol hydrobromide is an aromatic compound that can be used as an anthelmintic. 2-Methyl-1H-benzimidazol-5-ol hydrobromide has been shown to be effective against the nematode Ascaris suum and the cestode Taenia saginata. It is converted to the corresponding hydrogen peroxide, which is responsible for its antihelminthic activity. The oxidation products of 2-methylbenzimidazole are responsible for its toxicity to vertebrates. Halogen derivatives of benzimidazoles are potent anthelmintics that have a broad spectrum of activity against gastrointestinal roundworms and tapeworms, such as Ascaris lumbricoides, Toxocara canis, and Ancylostoma duodenale.
