Luxabendazole is a benzimidazole carbamate broad-spectrum anthelmintic agent. It has proved to be effective against immature and adult stages of the major gastrointestinal nematodes, cestodes, and trematodes.
Zanapezil (TAK-147) is a powerful and selective inhibitor of acetylcholine esterase (AChE). It demonstrates significant and reversible inhibition of AChE activity in rat cerebral cortex homogenates (IC50 = 51.2 nM). Furthermore, Zanapezil exhibits moderate inhibition of muscarinic M1 and M2 receptor binding with Ki values of 234 and 340 nM, respectively. This compound holds promise for the investigation of the initial stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Tebuquine is an antimalarial agent. Tebuquine is active against P. falciparum in vitro. Tebuquine in vitro shows a chloroquine-like effect, but not in vivo, suggesting that its mode of action in vivo is different from that of chloroquine. Tebuquine has no
