| Bioactivity | Tribendimidine is an orally active, broad-spectrum anthelmintic agent, with particularly high activity against A. lumbricoides and N. americanus. Tribendimidine is also an L-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Tribendimidine (100 μg/mL; 24 h) shows intoxication of C. elegans[3].Tribendimidine (0-100 μg/mL; 6 days) shows toxicity with an LC50 value (concentration at which half the animals are dead) of 54.4 μg/mL[3].Tribendimidine (0-200 μg/mL; 64 h)-induced sterility is resisted by trb mutant hermaphrodites, and Levamisole-resistant mutants are resistant to Tribendimidine. [3]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | Tribendimidine (75 and 150 mg/kg; p.o.; once) shows inhibition activity against C. sinensis in rats, and shows inhibition against O. viverrini at 400 mg/kg in hamsters[2]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
