Fenbendazole (Hoechst brand names Panacur and Safe-Guard, Intervet Panacur and Panacur Rabbit)
is a broad spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintic used against gastrointestinal parasites including:
giardia, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, the Taenia genus of tapeworms (but not effective against
Dipylidium caninum, a common dog tapeworm), pinworms, aelurostrongylus, paragonimiasis, strongyles
and strongyloides and can be administered to sheep, cattle, horses, fish, dogs, cats, rabbits and seals. Drug
interactions may occur if salicylanilides like dibromsalan and niclosamide are co-adminstered. Abortions
in cattle and death in sheep have been reported.
Toxicity
Despite being widely used as a dewormer in many species, toxicity has been reported. Birds (storks, pink
pelicans, vultures, pigeons and doves) and reptiles (vipers, turtles and tortoises) have shown toxicity
associated with bone marrow suppression, intestinal crypt cell necrosis and distal villi sloughing
.[citation needed] Abortions in domestic ruminants have been associated with concurrent use
of anti-trematode therapeutic agents.
Fenbendazole is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract in most species. The LD50 in
laboratory animals exceeds 10 g/kg when administered orally.
Synthesis
Fenbendazole synthesis
Metabolism
It gets metabolized in the liver to oxfendazole, which is anthelmintic too; oxfendazole partially
gets reduced back to fenbendazole in the liver and rumen. Also, fenbendazole itself is an
active metabolite of another anthelmintic drug, febantel.
