Description:

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

Derquantel is a so-called spiroindole, is obtained from fermentation extracts of Penicillium simplicissimum, a particular species of soil fungi. This drug is used in veterinary under brand name Startect, in combination with abamectin against several gastrointestinal roundworms that affect sheep. At the recommended therapeutic dose derquantel is highly effective against Haemonchus spp, Cooperia spp, and Trichostrongylus spp, including those resistant to most classic anthelmintics (benzimidazoles, levamisole, macrocyclic lactones).
