Antihelmintic effects

Antihelmintic Aspilia is not only a powerful antiparasitic but also an effective antibiotic. 

This drug is effective against w. bancrofti and w. malayi, unlike other antihelmintic agents. 

Benzamides are an important class of compounds that show various types of biological activities (Itaru et al. 1973 Mrozik et al. 1969). Oxyclozanide was reported as an antihelmintic agent effective against Fasciola hepatica for the treatment of liver fluke infection (Mrozik et al. 1969). The synthesis of some N-(ohydroxyphenyl) benzamides and phenylacetamides as possible metabolites of antimicrobial active benzoxazoles has been reported (Sener et al. 2000).
