Albendazole: An Advanced Pharmacological Overview
Albendazole is a potent broad-spectrum anthelmintic agent belonging to the benzimidazole class, extensively utilised in both human and veterinary medicine for the treatment of helminthic infections. Its mechanism of action involves selective inhibition of tubulin polymerisation, leading to the disruption of microtubular structures within parasites. This results in impaired glucose uptake, energy depletion, and eventual parasite death. Due to its high efficacy and cost-effectiveness, albendazole is listed as an essential medicine by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is a cornerstone in global parasitic disease control programmes.
