NEBAZOL

Levamisole is a synthetic antiparasitic active within the imidazole group. Paralysing effect on the neuromuscular system of the parasite, inhibiting acetylcholinesterase that leads to sustained muscle contraction followed by relaxation and irreversible paralysis of the parasite. Inhibition of fumarate reductase enzyme and oxidation of the succinic acid of the parasite blocking its glucidic metabolism. Active against adults and larval forms but lacks ovicidal effect.
