Oxantel Pamoate

Oxantel Pamoate (CAS No.: 68813-55-8) is a synthetic small molecule and pamoate salt form of the tetrahydropyrimidine derivative oxantel, primarily categorized as an antinematodal research compound for parasitology, microbiology, and anti infective discovery workflows, with established utility as a pharmacological tool to investigate cholinergic neuromuscular disruption in helminths and to profile non classical antimicrobial effects in pathogen associated systems; within biomedical research settings it is commonly described as showing potent activity against whipworm relevant nematodes and as inhibiting fumarate reductase associated metabolism in selected pathogenic bacteria, alongside suppression of Porphyromonas gingivalis homotypic biofilm formation at low micromolar levels, supporting its use in mechanism oriented studies of parasite motility control, anaerobic energy metabolism, and biofilm related virulence phenotypes; reported in vitro effects are generally discussed in the micromolar domain depending on organism, assay architecture, and endpoint definition, and current research applications include phenotypic screening in helminth and microbial models, comparative activity assessment versus related anthelmintic chemotypes, and translationally oriented preclinical experiments in laboratory parasite infection models where concentrations or doses used in experiments typically depend on specific experimental designs and research objectives, while all use is restricted to controlled research purposes and not to human consumption or non research applications.
