Closantel (sodium)

Closantel sodium is a halogenated salicylanilide with a potent anti-parasitic activity. Closantel sodium is a potent and highly specific Onchocerca volvulus chitinase (OvCHT1) inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.6 μM and a Ki of 468 nM. Closantel sodium inhibits the O. volvulus L3 to L4 molt of developing[1][2].
