Certain microsporidial species that cause intestinal infections in people with AIDS respond partially (Enterocytozoon bieneusi) or completely (Encephalitozoon intestintalis and related Encephalitozoon species) to albendazole; albendazole's sulfoxide metabolite appears to be especially effective against these parasites in vitro.

MEDICATION: ...Used against nematode infections: Ascaris, Necator, Ancylostoma, Trichuris, Enterobius, and systemic nematodes such as Trichinella spiralis, Gnathostoma spinigerum, and larval Angiostrongylus cantonensis. In addition it is used against the larval stages of the cestodes Echinococcus granulosus and E. multilocularis and for treatment of neurocysticercosis caused by Taenia solium.

Leukopenia has occurred in less than 1% of patients receiving albendazole, and rarely, granulocytopenia, pancytopenia, agranulocytosis, or thrombocytopenia have been reported. Therefore, blood counts should be performed at the start of, and every 2 weeks during, each 28-day treatment cycle. The manufacturer states that if decreases in the total leukocyte count occur, treatment with albendazole may be continued if the decreases are modest and do not progress.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2006., p. 46
Because albendazole has been associated with mild to moderate increases of hepatic enzymes in about 16% of patients receiving the drug in clinical trials, and may cause hepatotoxicity, liver function tests should be performed prior to each course of albendazole therapy and at least every 2 weeks during treatment with the drug. If clinically important increases in liver function test results occur, albendazole should be discontinued. The drug can be reinstituted when liver enzymes return to pretreatment levels, but laboratory tests should be performed frequently during repeat therapy.

Albendazole may cause harm to the fetus and should be used during pregnancy only if the benefits justify the risk to the fetus and only in clinical circumstances where no alternative management is appropriate. Women of childbearing age should begin treatment only after a negative pregnancy test, and should be cautioned against becoming pregnant while receiving albendazole or within 1 month of completing treatment with the drug.

Absorption
Poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract due to its low aqueous solubility. Oral bioavailability appears to be enhanced when coadministered with a fatty meal (estimated fat content 40 g)
Route of Elimination
Albendazole is rapidly converted in the liver to the primary metabolite, albendazole sulfoxide, which is further metabolized to albendazole sulfone and other primary oxidative metabolites that have been identified in human urine. Urinary excretion of albendazole sulfoxide is a minor elimination pathway with less than 1% of the dose recovered in the urine. Biliary elimination presumably accounts for a portion of the elimination as evidenced by biliary concentrations of albendazole sulfoxide similar to those achieved in plasma.
Albendazole is variably and erractically absorbed after oral admin; absorption is enhanced by the presence of fatty foods and possibly by bile salts as well. After a 400-mg oral dose, albendazole cannot be detected in plasma, because the drug is rapidly metabolized in the liver and possibly in the intestine as well, to albendazole sulfoxide, which has potent anthelmintic activity. Both the (+) and (-) enantiomers of albendazole sulfoxide are formed, but in human beings the (+) enantiomer reaches much higher peak concn in plasma and is cleared much more slowly than the (-) form. Total sulfoxide attains peak plasma concn of about 300 ng/mL, but with wide interindividual variation. Albendazole sulfoxide is about 70% bound to plasma proteins ... It is well distributed into various tissues, including hydatid cysts, where it reaches a concn of about one-fifth that in plasma ... Both sulfoxide derivatives are oxidized further to the nonchiral sulfone metabolite of albendazole, which is pharmacologically inactive; this reaction favors the (-) sulfoxide and probably becomes rate limiting in determining the clearance ... Albendazole metabolites are excreted mainly in the urine.
Hardman, J.G., L.E. Limbird, P.B., A.G. Gilman. Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 10th ed. New York, NY: McGraw-Hill, 2001., p. 1126
Oral bioavailability of albendazole appears to be increased when the drug is administered with a fatty meal; when the drug is administered with meals containing about 40 g of fat, plasma concentrations of albendazole sulfoxide are up to 5 times higher than those observed when the drug is administered to fasting patients
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2006., p. 46
Sheep bearing permanent ruminal and abomasal cannulae were given a single oral dose of 10 mg/kg bw albendazole as a 2.5% formulation. Albendazole was absorbed unchanged from the rumen. Once in the body it was rapidly degraded, and sulfone metabolites were detected in plasma, the former achieving the greater level. All 3 compounds were present in the abomasum. Presumably albendazole was passed through the stomachs while the metabolites were secreted or diffused into this organ. Non-detectable levels of all 3 compounds were reached in plasma and rumen at 96 hr and in abomasum at 120 hr.

The parent compound was virtually undetectable in the plasma of Sprague Dawley males and females given a single gavage dose of 10.6 mg/kg bw albendazole in an aqueous suspension. Rapid metabolism let to the appearance of the sulfoxide and subsequently the sulfone derivatives in plasma. Both metabolites decreased to very low levels at 18 hr. Daily dosing at 10.6 mg/kg bw in males for a period of 10 days resulted in lower plasma levels of sulfoxide and higher levels of the sulfone. Albendazole induces certain hepatic drug-metabolising enzymes, which may be responsible for enhancing the degradation of sulfoxide to sulfone following repeated administration.

Hepatic. Rapidly converted in the liver to the primary metabolite, albendazole sulfoxide, which is further metabolized to albendazole sulfone and other primary oxidative metabolites that have been identified in human urine.
Albendazole is converted first to a sulfoxide and then to a sulfone. All of these reactions are catalyzed by flavin monooxygenases (FMO) and/or cytochrome P450. Both enzymes are efficient catalysts of S-oxygenation ...

Albendazole is metabolized in the liver to an active metabolite, albendazole sulfoxide, which accounts for detectable plasma concentrations of the drug; systemic anthelmintic activity of the drug has been attributed to this metabolite.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2006., p. 47
Albendazole ... is rapidly metabolized in the liver and possibly in the intestine as well, to albendazole sulfoxide, which has potent anthelmintic activity. Both the (+) and (-) enantiomers of albendazole sulfoxide are formed, but in human beings the (+) enantiomer reaches much higher peak concn in plasma and is cleared much more slowly than the (-) form. Total sulfoxide attains peak plasma concn of about 300 ng/mL, but with wide interindividual variation. Albendazole sulfoxide is about 70% bound to plasma proteins and has a highly variable plasma half-life ranging from about 4 to 15 hr. It is well distributed into various tissues, including hydatid cysts, where it reaches a concn of about one-fifth that in plasma. This probably explains why albendazole is more effective than mebendazole for treating hydatid cyst disease. Formation of albendazole sulfoxide is catalyzed by both microsomal flavin monooxygenase and isoforms of cytochrome P450 in the liver and possibly also in the intestine. Hepatic flavin monooxygenase activity appears associated with (+) albendazole sulfoxide formation, whereas cytochromes P450 preferentially produce the (-) sulfoxide metabolite. Both sulfoxide derivatives are oxidized further to the nonchiral sulfone metabolite of albendazole, which is pharmacologically inactive; this reaction favors the (-) sulfoxide and probably becomes rate limiting in determining the clearance and plasma half-life of the bioactive (+) sulfoxide metabolite. Induction of enzymes involved in sulfone formation from the (+) sulfoxide could account for some of the wide variation noted in plasma half-lives of albendazole sulfoxide. Indeed, in animal models, benzimidazoles can induce their own metabolism. Albendazole metabolites are excreted mainly in the urine.

Terminal elimination half-life ranges from 8 to 12 hours (single dose, 400mg).
Albendazole ... is rapidly metabolized ... to albendazole sulfoxide, which ... has a highly variable plasma half-life ranging from about 4 to 15 hr ... Both /(+) and (-)/ sulfoxide derivatives are oxidized further to the nonchiral sulfone metabolite ... This reaction favors the (-) sulfoxide and probably becomes rate limiting in determining ... plasma half-life of the bioactive (+) sulfoxide metabolite. Induction of enzymes involved in sulfone formation from the (+) sulfoxide could account for some of the wide variation noted in plasma half-lives of albendazole sulfoxide.

Albendazole causes degenerative alterations in the tegument and intestinal cells of the worm by diminishing its energy production, ultimately leading to immobilization and death of the parasite. It works by binding to the colchicine-sensitive site of tubulin, thus inhibiting its polymerization or assembly into microtubules. As cytoplasmic microtubules are critical in promoting glucose uptake in larval and adult stages of the susceptible parasites, the glycogen stores of the parasites are depleted. Degenerative changes in the endoplasmic reticulum, the mitochondria of the germinal layer, and the subsequent release of lysosomes result in decreased production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy required for the survival of the helminth.
Benzimidazoles produce many biochemical changes in susceptible nematodes, eg, inhibition of mitochondrial fumarate reductase, reduced glucose transport, and uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation ... /but/ the primary action ... /should be/ to inhibit microtubule polymerization by binding to beta-tubulin. The selective toxicity of these agents derives from the fact that specific, high-affinity binding to parasite beta-tubulin occurs at much lower concn than does binding to the mammalian protein ... Benzimidazole-resistant Haemonchus contortus display reduced high-affinity drug binding to beta-tubulin and alterations in beta-tubulin isotype gene expression that correlate with drug resistance ... Two identified mechanisms of drug resistance in nematodes involve both a progressive loss of "susceptible" beta-tubulin gene isotypes together with emergence of a "resistant" isotype with a conserved point mutation that encodes a tyrosine instead of phenylalanine at position 200 of beta-tubulin. While this mutation may not be required for benzimidazole resistance in all parasites, eg, Giardia lamblia, benzimidazole resistance in parasitic nematodes is unlikely to be overcome by novel benzimidazole analogs, because tyrosine also is present at position 200 of human beta-tubulin. /Benzimidazoles/

Although the exact mechanism of action of albendazole has not been fully elucidated, the principal anthelmintic effect of benzimidazoles, including albendazole, appears to be the specific, high-affinity binding of the drug to free beta-tubulin in parasite cells, resulting in selective inhibition of parasite microtubule polymerization, and inhibition of microtubule-dependent uptake of glucose. Benzimidazole drugs bind to the beta-tubulin of parasites at much lower concentrations than to mammalian beta-tubulin protein; the drugs do not inhibit glucose uptake in mammals, and do not appear to have any effect on blood glucose concentrations in humans
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2006., p. 47
The mode of action of albendazole is by binding strongly with the tubulin in the cells of nematodes. The intestinal cells of the nematode are particularly affected, resulting in a loss of absorptive function which causes the nematodes to starve to death.
