Oxibendazole is an anthelmintics drug which is used to protect against roundworms, strongyles, threadworms, pinworms and lungworm infestations in horses and other domestic pets. Oxibendazole causes degenerative alterations in the tegument and intestinal cells of the worm by binding to the colchicine-sensitive site of tubulin, thus inhibiting its polymerization or assembly into microtubules.

Sample Use Guides
Oxibendazole should be administered orally. The dose depends on species, and constitutes 10-20 mg/kg for dogs, 10-50 mg/kg for cats, 5-15 mg/kg for cattle. 10-15 mg/kg for horses.
Route of Administration:
Oral
To study binding of oxibendazole to H. contortus tubulin, 10 [3H]oxibendazole (OBZ) was used as a radioligand. Solution was incubated for 15 min at 37°C. Binding was terminated by the addition of a charcoal solution. After 5 min incubation to adsorb unbound drug, the charcoal was sedimented by 5 min centrifugation, and bound [3H]OBZ was counted.
