Fenbendazole
Fenbendazole is a broad-spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintic used primarily in veterinary medicine to treat parasitic infections in animals. It is highly effective against gastrointestinal nematodes, lungworms, and some tapeworms by inhibiting microtubule formation in parasites, leading to their death. Fenbendazole is commonly used in livestock, poultry, and pet deworming treatments. Recent studies have explored its potential in human health applications, including anti-cancer research.Chemical Formula: C₁₅H₁₃N₃O₂S
