| Specification |
Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder Assay: ≥ 98% Solubility: Practically insoluble in water; soluble in some organic solvents Common dosage forms: Oral suspension, bolus, injectable formulations (veterinary) |
| Pharmacodynamic Properties |
Mode of Action: Active metabolite of albendazole; binds to parasite β-tubulin, inhibiting microtubule formation and glucose uptake, leading to energy depletion and parasite death. Spectrum: Broad activity against gastrointestinal and systemic nematodes, cestodes (tapeworms), and trematodes (flukes). Key Features: More soluble and bioavailable than albendazole itself Responsible for much of albendazole's systemic activity Effective against both larval and adult parasite stages In short: Albendazole Sulfoxide (Ricobendazole) is the active metabolite of albendazole, killing parasites by blocking microtubule formation and starving them of energy, with broad-spectrum efficacy. |
