Drug

D0309 | Albendazole

Molecular Formula C12H15N3O2S
Molecular Weight 265.33
Structure
State solid
Route of elimination Albendazole is rapidly converted in the liver to the primary metabolite, albendazole sulfoxide, which is further metabolized to albendazole sulfone and other primary oxidative metabolites that have been identified in human urine. Urinary excretion of albendazole sulfoxide is a minor elimination pathway with less than 1% of the dose recovered in the urine. Biliary elimination presumably accounts for a portion of the elimination as evidenced by biliary concentrations of albendazole sulfoxide similar to those achieved in plasma.
Protein binding 70% bound to plasma protein
Half life Terminal elimination half-life ranges from 8 to 12 hours (single dose, 400mg).
Absorption Poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract due to its low aqueous solubility. Oral bioavailability appears to be enhanced when coadministered with a fatty meal (estimated fat content 40 g)
