Pyrantel hydrochloride

Pyrantel hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of Pyrantel, a pyrimidine-derived anthelmintic. It functions as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist in nematodes, inducing depolarizing neuromuscular blockade and paralysis. This compound is widely used in research involving parasitic nematode infections, both in in vitro electrophysiology studies and in vivo animal models.
