Benzimidazoles have also been shown to inhibit the fumarate reductase system of helminths and impair energy production. Structural differences have been shown to exist between tubulin from mammalian and helminth sources, resulting in the preferential toxicity of albendazole to the helminth and not to the host. This occurs primarily in absorptive intestinal cells resulting in the absence of microtubules in the intestinal cells of the nematode, with the result that these cells cannot absorb nutrients, thus causing a consequent reduction in glycogen and effective starvation of the parasites. Milk intended for human consumption may be taken from cows only after 60 hours after the last treatment.ĥ PHARMACOLOGICAL or IMMUNOLOGICAL PROPERTIESīenzimidazoles bind to nematode tubulin, a protein necessary for the formation and viability of microtubules.
