Tribendimidine is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic agent developed in China, at the National Institute of Parasitic Diseases in Shanghai. It is a derivative of amidantel.[1]
In clinical trials, it was highly effective in treating ankylostomiasis, ascariasis and enterobiasis.[2] However, animal studies suggest it is ineffective in treating Schistosoma mansoni or Fasciola hepatica disease.[1]
Tribendimidine is associated with Shandong Xinhua Pharmaceutical Company Limited in Zibo, Shandong, China.
