METHIAZOLE(CAS 74239-55-7) is a broad spectrum anthelmintic. It blocks the enzymatic process responsible for the absorption of glucose by parasites causing their death.

Benzimidazole derivative, synthetised from 2-methoxy carbonyl aminobenzimidazole

Its efficiency is equal to that of Albendazole. It is efficient in cases of polyinvasion, especially against Echinococcus.

- The anthelmintic activity of Methiazole was compared to Albendazole/'s by MN Lebedeva from the Institute of Medical Parasitology and Tropical Medicine in Moscow in Russia.
