| Targets |
Pyrantel pamoate's primary target is the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) in nematodes. It acts as an agonist, activating these receptors and causing depolarizing neuromuscular blockade. This leads to spastic paralysis and expulsion of the worms.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
The anti-A antibodies displayed by Pyrantel Pamoate (10 nM-10 µM; 72 hours) were good. suum and anti-N (0-168.2 M; 72 h). Activities of American Nus [1][2].
In vitro, Pyrantel pamoate is an agonist of nematode nAChRs. It activates chimeric C. elegans α7-nAChRs expressed in BOSC cells with an EC50 of 40 μM. It induces contraction of A. suum muscle with an EC50 of 57.5 nM. |
| ln Vivo |
Pyrantel pamoate (10 mg/kg; po; single dose) can reduce the number of worms in hamsters infected with Vibrio ceylonali, reducing the worm load by 87.2%, and the deworming rate reaches 63.4% [2].
In vivo, Pyrantel pamoate is used as an anthelmintic to treat nematode infections. It is effective against various parasitic worms, including Ascaris, hookworms, and pinworms. It is administered orally and acts locally in the gastrointestinal tract. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro activity of Pyrantel pamoate is assessed using electrophysiological techniques and muscle contraction assays. The compound's effect on nAChR-mediated currents in cells expressing the receptor or on muscle contraction in parasitic worms is measured.

| Cell Assay |
Cell viability assay [2]
Cell Types: Nepenthes americana Tested Concentrations: 0-168.2 M (0-100 µg/mL) Incubation Duration: 72 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Inhibitory effect on third-stage larvae and adults of Nepenthes americana, IC50 The values are 2.0 and 7.6 mg/ml respectively. For cellular assays, cells expressing nematode nAChRs are used. Cells are treated with various concentrations of Pyrantel pamoate, and the activation of the receptor is measured using electrophysiological or calcium imaging techniques. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male Syrian golden hamster (3 weeks old; A. ceylanicum infection) [2].
Doses: 10 mg/kg Route of Administration: Oral; single. Experimental Results: The worm load reduction rate and deworming rate were 87.2% and 63.4% respectively. In vivo, Pyrantel pamoate is administered orally to animals or humans. Its efficacy is assessed by measuring the reduction in egg counts or the clearance of worms from the gastrointestinal tract. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pyrantel pamoate has a molecular weight of 594.68 g/mol and a molecular formula of C11H14N2S·C23H16O6. It is a yellow to tan solid. It should be stored at 0-10°C under refrigeration, in an inert gas and protected from air and heat.

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Overview of Use During Lactation There is currently no information regarding the use of Pyrantel during lactation. This drug is poorly absorbed orally and is therefore unlikely to be excreted into breast milk or absorbed by breastfed infants. ◉ Effects on Breastfed Infants As of the revision date, no relevant published information was found. ◉ Effects on Lactation and Breast Milk As of the revision date, no relevant published information was found. Pyrantel pamoate is generally well-tolerated. Common side effects include gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. It is contraindicated in patients with hepatic impairment. |

|---|---|
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.20 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

| 10 mM | 0.1682 mL | 0.8408 mL | 1.6816 mL |
*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
