Description

Tetramisole is a racemic mixture of levamisole and its enantiomer dexamisole, which is a specific inhibitor of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). This drug is used in veterinary to treat of ascariasis and other worm infections e.g hook-"ms. And also is used as an immunostimulant (in that case it is used for longer periods of time).

Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Various enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) viz., aconitase (E.C. 4.2.1.3), isocitrate dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.1.1.42), succinate dehydrognease (E.C. 1.3.99.1), fumarate reductase (NADH: fumarate oxido-reductase), fumarase (E.C. 4.2.1.2) and maltate dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.1.1.37) were detected in adult Haemonchus contortus (Nematoda: Trichostrongylidae), in vitro. The effects of D L-tetramisole on various enzymes were studied. At 50 micrograms ml-1 varying degrees of inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase and fumarate reductase activities were observed. At the same concentration, the activities of other enzymes remained unaltered.
