Mebendazole - Mechanism of Action

Mebendazole, sold under the brand names Emverm and Vermox, belongs to a class of medications known as anthelmintic drugs - similar to albendazole and praziquantel. Mebendazole is typically prescribed for the treatment of certain types of gastrointestinal infections and, like ivermectin, parasitic infections. Specifically, mebendazole has been found to have efficacy against infections caused by certain types of hookworms, roundworms, pinworms and whipworms. Mebendazole is thought to have a mechanism of action that involves disrupting the formation of tubulin in the cells of the helminth. Via this mechanism of action, mebendazole disrupts glucose metabolism, ultimately leading to interference in reproduction of the helminth. Unfortunately, resistance can occur to mebendazole prescription tablets. Mebendazole is also being investigated for potential uses in cancer treatment.
