Furostifoline is a molecule that belongs to the class of acylhydrazones. It is an anthelmintic drug that is active against helminths, such as Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura. Furostifoline prevents the synthesis of ATP by inhibiting the enzyme (NADH-dehydrogenase) in energy metabolism. It also binds to nucleophilic sites on the parasite's skeleton and inhibits protein synthesis by blocking amine groups in the parasite's cell membrane. Furostifoline has been shown to be effective against both Chlorocebus aethiops and Cebus apella, which are two species of Old World monkeys. The furostifoline molecule has been structurally analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques.
