Sign in to saveAlso known as R-17889, R 17899, Methyl N-(5-(p-fluorobenzoyl)-2-benzimidazolyl)carbamate, methyl 5-(p-fluorobenzoyl)-2-benzimidazolecarbamate, R 17,889, (5-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-1H-benzimidazole-2-yl)carbamic acid methyl ester
Flubendazole is an anthelmintic, used both in humans and for veterinarian purposes. It is very close chemically to mebendazole, the only difference being an added fluorine atom. Like mebendazole, flubendazole inhibits tubulin polymerization.
