Albendazole is an orally bioavailable benzimidazole anthelmintic that is active against a variety of helminths, including liver flukes, tapeworms, and roundworms.{41686} It eliminates Trichostrongylus in the fourth stomach of cattle and sheep when orally administered at doses ranging from 2.5 to 10 mg/kg as well as other species in the fourth stomach and the small and large intestine. Albendazole (0.05% in the diet) protects mice against lethal infection with A. suum larvae. It also inhibits growth of HT-29 human colorectal cancer cells (IC50 = 0.12 µM), halts the cell cycle at the G2/M phase, and induces apoptosis. In an HT-29 mouse xenograft model, it inhibits peritoneal tumor growth when administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 150 mg/kg but not when administered orally.{41687} Albendazole inhibits mammalian tubulin polymerization and inhibits binding of [3H]mebendazole to H. contortus L3 larval tubulin (IC50s = 6.9 and 0.21 µM, respectively).{41688} Formulations containing albendazole have been used in the treatment of tapeworm infections and in a variety of nematode infections in livestock and pets.
