4-Ethyl-4-methyloxane-2,6-dione is a medication that is prescribed to treat pinworm infections in infants. It is anthelmintic and works by inhibiting the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and proteins in worms. This drug binds to the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase, which prevents the production of nucleotides necessary for DNA synthesis. 4EMO's high concentration in the worm's body causes oxidative stress that leads to cell death. The use of this drug has been shown to be safe for pregnant women and nursing mothers because it does not cross the placenta or enter breast milk.
