DistributionIvermectin: widely distributed, crosses blood-brain barrier; Albendazole: distributed to tissues, crosses blood-brain barrier
Protein BindingIvermectin: ~93%; Albendazole: ~70%
MetabolismIvermectin: hepatic (CYP3A4); Albendazole: hepatic (CYP3A4) to active metabolite albendazole sulfoxide
Half-LifeIvermectin: ~18 hours; Albendazole: 8-12 hours (albendazole sulfoxide)

Duration of ActionIvermectin: up to 12 hours; Albendazole: up to 12 hours

How It Works

Ivermectin: binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels in nerve and muscle cells, causing hyperpolarization and paralysis; Albendazole: inhibits tubulin polymerization, disrupting microtubule formation and glucose uptake

Mechanism Steps

1Ivermectin binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels in parasite nerve and muscle cells
2Increased chloride ion influx causes hyperpolarization and paralysis
3Albendazole binds to beta-tubulin, inhibiting microtubule polymerization
4Disruption of microtubules impairs glucose uptake and cellular function
5Parasites become immobilized and die
