Albendazole belongs to the methylcarbamate group of benzimidazoles (BZDs) which are highly efficient against lungworms and larval stages of most gastrointestinal nematodes. BZDs interfere with the target parasites by altering microtubule functions such as cell division, cell shape maintenance, cell motility & secretion, nutrient absorption, & intracellular transport through binding with the microtubule inhibitor colchicine. Due to its limited water solubility, albendazole has slower dissolution rate, passage along the GI tract and systemic absorption, resulting to its greater anthelminthic potency than other highly water-soluble BZDs. This property is highly beneficial in ruminant digestive physiology.
