APPLICATIONS
Febantel is a starting material to produce a broad spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintics and their derivatives such as fenbendazole and oxfendazole used in humans, sheep, cattle, and horses via the removal of a methoxyacetyl group and cyclisation process. Febantel is also used as an anthelmintic itself against gastrointestinal parasites in animals. Its chemical designation is N-[-[2,3-bis-(methoxycarbonyl)-guanido]-5-(phenylthio)-phenyl]-2-methoxyacetamide.
