Bioactivity | Closantel is a halogenated salicylanilide with a potent anti-parasitic activity. Closantel is a potent and highly specific Onchocerca volvulus chitinase (OvCHT1) inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.6 μM and a Ki of 468 nM. Closantel inhibits the O. volvulus L3 to L4 molt of developing[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Closantel, a known anthelmintic drug, is highly specific forfilarial family chitinases compared to those fromprotozoans and the human chitinase, human chitotriosidase[1]. | ||||||||||||
