Mebenil, with the CAS number 7055-03-0, is a chemical compound primarily recognized for its application as an anthelmintic agent, particularly in veterinary medicine. It belongs to the class of benzimidazole derivatives, which are known for their ability to inhibit the polymerization of tubulin, thereby disrupting microtubule formation in parasitic organisms. This mechanism of action makes Mebenil effective against a variety of helminths. The compound is typically administered orally and is characterized by its relatively low solubility in water, which can influence its bioavailability and efficacy. Mebenil is also noted for its moderate toxicity profile, necessitating careful dosage and administration to avoid adverse effects. In addition to its veterinary uses, research into its potential applications in other fields, such as agriculture and human medicine, continues to evolve. As with any chemical substance, proper handling and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to mitigate risks associated with exposure.

2-Methyl-N-phenylbenzamide

2-Methylbenzanilide is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist that is used as a biocide for control of fungi, bacteria and algae. It inhibits the mitochondrial electron transport chain by binding to it and blocking the flow of electrons. 2-Methylbenzanilide has been shown to be effective against wild-type strains of bacteria, but not mutant strains. The effective dose for 2-methylbenzanilide ranges from 0.01 ppm to 1000 ppm, depending on the type of organism and the application method.
