Rafoxanide (Standard)

Rafoxanide (Standard)

• CAS Number: 22662-39-1
• UNSPSC Description: Rafoxanide (Standard) is the analytical standard of Rafoxanide. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Rafoxanide is a poent, orally active halogenated salicylaniline agent with antiparasitic activity. Rafoxanide interferes with energy metabolism in trematodes by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation. Rafoxanide is also found to be a potent inhibitor of the BRAF V600E mutant protein, which is important in colorectal cancer. Rafoxanide can be used for the control of infestation with Hemonchus species or Fasciola species in sheep and cattle as well as Oestrus ovis in sheep. Rafoxanide can also be used for cancer research[1][2][3].
