Mebendazole Tablets

Function and Efficacy

This product is a derivative of benzimidazole. This type of drug has a strong affinity for the beta-tubulin of the insect body and can bind to it at very low concentrations, thereby inhibiting the polymerization of microtubules, causing the disappearance of the epidermis or intestinal cells of the insect body, reducing digestion and reducing the absorption of nutrients such as glucose, leading to the death of the insect body. This drug can also inhibit fumarate reductase in mitochondria, reduce glucose transport, and uncouple oxidative phosphorylation, thereby affecting the production of ATP. This drug has an effect on both adults and eggs.
