General description

Albendazole sulfoxide is a blood-brain barrier main metabolite of anti-parasitic agent albendazole that acts as a antihelminthic. It binds to colchicine binding site of β-tubulin and prevents polymerization. Albendazole sulfoxide exhibits greater affinity to parasitic β-tubulin than to mammalian.

Application

Metabolomics research

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ricobendazole is a key metabolite of albendazole and acts as an anthelmintic. It has been shown to induce apoptosis in human cancer cell line HT-29, possibly by arresting cell cycle at the G2/M phase.
