methyridine profile

Methyridine is a synthetic, orally active anthelmintic drug that was discovered in the 1960s. It is effective against a wide range of internal parasites, including roundworms, tapeworms, and flukes, in animals such as poultry, pigs, and cattle. Its mechanism of action involves binding to and inhibiting the acetylcholine receptors in the neuromuscular junctions of parasites, leading to paralysis and expulsion. Methyridine is typically administered in the feed or water of animals, and its bioavailability and half-life vary depending on the species and route of administration. Its importance lies in its ability to control parasitic infections in livestock, which can significantly impact animal health, productivity, and economic viability. Research on methyridine continues to focus on optimizing its efficacy, understanding its pharmacokinetic properties, and investigating potential resistance mechanisms in parasites.'

It is a drug of second-choice after benzimidazoles for treatment of ascariasis, hookworm, and pinworm infections, being effective after a single dose. (From Smith and Reynard, Textbook of Pharmacology, 1992, p920). pyrantel : A carboxamidine that is 1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine that is substituted at position 1 by a methyl group and at position 2 by an (E)-2-(2-thienyl)vinyl group. It is used, particularly as the embonate [4,4'-methylenebis(3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate)] salt, as an anthelmintic that is effective against intestinal nematodes including threadworms, roundworms and hookworms, and is included in the WHO 'Model List of Essential Medicines'.	7.7	3	0	1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidines; carboxamidine; thiophenes	antinematodal drug
