NCIt definition : A synthetic benzimidazole derivate and anthelmintic agent. Mebendazole interferes
with the reproduction and survival of helminths by inhibiting the formation of their
cytoplasmic microtubules, thereby selectively and irreversibly blocking glucose uptake.
This results in a depletion of glycogen stores and leads to reduced formation of ATP
required for survival and reproduction of the helminth. This eventually causes the
helminths death.;
