Vitilex

Levamisole is a synthetic imidazothiazole derivative functioning as a broad-spectrum anthelmintic agent, primarily administered in veterinary medicine to eliminate parasitic nematodes in livestock such as cattle and sheep.[1] Its mechanism involves selective paralysis of susceptible parasites by disrupting neuromuscular transmission, leading to their expulsion.[1] Originally developed in the mid-1960s by Janssen Pharmaceutica as the levo-enantiomer of tetramisole, it demonstrated superior efficacy over the racemic mixture for deworming applications in both animals and humans.[2]
