4 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
4.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Anthelmintics

Agents that kill parasitic worms. They are used therapeutically in the treatment of HELMINTHIASIS in man and animal. (See all compounds classified as Anthelmintics.)


4.2 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Benzimidazoles have only limited solubility in water; consequently, minor differences in solubility tend to have a major effect on absorption. Thiabenzole is rapidly absorbed after oral ingestion ... Most of the drug is excreted in the urine ... as 5-hydroxythiabendazole ... . In contrast tablet forms of mebendazole are poorly and erratically absorbed ... And is extensively metabolized. ... Like mebendazole, albendazole is variably and erratically absorbed after oral administration, although its absorbtion may be increased when it is given with a fatty meal.

4.3 Metabolism/Metabolites

5-HYDROXYBENZIMIDAZOLE IS A MAJOR URINARY METABOLITE OF BENZIMIDAZOLE IN RAT.

TYLER TR ET AL; DRUG METAB DISPOS 4(2) 177-9 (1976)


SIXTY DAYS AFTER TREATMENT WITH BENZIMIDAZOLE, MELON PLANTS CONTAINED METABOLITES 2-AMINOBENZONITRILE, O-PHENYLENEDIAMINE, ANILINE

ROUCHAUD JP ET AL; PESTIC SCI 8(1) 31-4 (1977)


Thiabendazole ... Is excreted in the urine as 5-hydroxythiabendazole, conjugated either as the glucuronide or as the sulfate. /Benzimidazoles/

4.4 Mechanism of Action

Benzimidazole prevent tubulin polymerization or spindle movement and their administration can result in aneuploidy.
