monepantel: Anthelmintic; effective gainst fourth stage gastro-intestinal nematode larvae infecting sheep [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

monepantel : A secondary carboxamide resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of p-[(trifluoromethyl)sulfanyl]benzoic acid with the amino group of (2S)-2-amino-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanenitrile in which the hydroxy group has been converted to the corresponding 5-cyano-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl ether. A broad-spectrum nematicide, it is used to control gastrointestinal roundworms in sheep and goats.

Toxicity

Repeated oral administration of monepantel at three times the MRD every 5 days over an entire spermatogenic cycle and during mating was not associated with any treatment-related adverse effects. Fasting or feeding had no statistically significant effects on the efficacy of the mone pantel solution against the nematodes.
