Niridazole | CAS# 61-57-4 | Anti-parasitic Agent

MedKoo Cat#: 584122 | Name: Niridazole

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Niridazole can be used to treat schistosomiasis, the helmintic disease caused by certain flatworms (trematodes) from the genus Schistosoma (formerly Bilharzia), although it has central nervous system toxicity. Niridazole is rapidly concentrated in the parasite and inhibits oogenesis and spermatogenesis. The compound also inhibits the phosphofructokinase enzyme, leading to glycogen depletion and hepatic shift. It has also been studied as biodegradable inserts for local long-term treatment of periodontitis.
