Effect of Two Formulations of Benzimidazole Carbamates
نویسنده
چکیده
Two different preparations, solution and suspension, of three benzimidazole carbamate drugs, mebendazole, albendazole and ricobendazole, were compared by analyzing their in vivo activity against Echinococcus granulosus cysts in a mouse model. Polyvinylpyrrolidone was used for the elaboration of drug solutions and these formulations manifested better results in terms of reduction of number of viable hydatid cysts in mice than the reference drug suspensions. The effect was more prominent on mebendazole-treated mice, at doses of 25-50 mg/kg. There was a correlation between E D 5 0 and pharmacokinetical parameters of A U C 0 and C M A X , showing that a significant improvement on solubility affects the in vivo activity of these drugs.

The design and synthesis of a series of methyl 5(6)-substituted benzimidazole-2-carbamates as possible anthelmintics have been described. A rational analysis of the structural parameters which segregate the activity of resulting benzimidazole-2-carbamates against enteric and tissue dwelling helminths is presented. The influence of single and multiple spacers, which link the pharmacophores at 5(...

متن کاملBinding of parbendazole to tubulin and its influence on microtubules in tissue-culture cells as revealed by immunofluorescence microscopy.
We have shown that the benzimidazole carbamate, parbendazole, is a potent inhibitor of microtubule assembly in vitro and in vivo. Radiolabelled parbendazole was shown to bind to purified tubulin. Immunofluorescence studies using antitubulin antibody showed that parbendazole effectively depolymerizes cytoplasmic microtubules in animal cells leaving only one or two microtubules associated with on...

Synthesis, Characterization and Evaluation of Novel 6- Substituted Benzimidazole-2-carbamates as Potential Antimicrobial Agents
Objective: The aim of the present work was to synthesize and characterize a series of 6substituted benzimidazole-2-carbamic acid derivatives and evaluate them for antimicrobial activity. Methods: A novel series of 6-substituted benzimidazole-2-carbamic acid derivatives (6a-f) were synthesized by reacting substituted benzyl chlorides (2a-c) with 4-hydroxy -2nitro aniline (3) in the presence of a...
