Derquantel is a spirocyclic anthelmintic that functions as a competitive antagonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). It inhibits acetylcholine-induced depolarization with an IC50 of 0.22 μM, leading to flaccid paralysis of nematode somatic muscles. This mechanism effectively dislodges parasites from the host gastrointestinal tract, making Derquantel a valuable tool in research related to Haemonchus contortus and Ascaris suum infections.
