Mechanism of action

Mebendazole is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic that targets the microtubule function in the parasite's cell cycle. By inhibiting this enzyme, the drug disrupts the parasite's ability to reproduce and survive within the host. This mechanism of action is similar to that of mebendazole, but with a different chemical structure.
