Introduction:Basic information about CAS 60200-06-8|Clorsulon, including its chemical name, molecular formula, synonyms, physicochemical properties, and safety information, etc.
Clorsulon is used in the treatment of Fasciola hepatica infections in calves and sheep.Target: AntiparasiticClorsulon is a competitive inhibitor of both 3-phosphoglycorate and ATP and had a Ki of 0.29 mM, inhibits glucose utilization and acetate and propionate formation by mature Fasciola hepatica in vitro. [1] Clorsulon (a single dose of 15 mg/kg) is effective in removing over 90% of immature Fasciola hepatica from sheep (6 weeks after infection) and calves (8 weeks after infection). A 2.5 mg/kg dose removed over 90% of mature (16 weeks old) liver fluke from sheep [1]. Clorsulon causes severe disruption to the tegument and gut of Fasciola hepatica after in vivo incubation [2].
