Pyrantel Citrate is a thiophene and anthelmintic agent. It has been used to characterize Ancylostoma caninum isolates. It was described in 1965 by researchers at Pfizer. Pyrantel and its analogs (oxantel and morantel) are members of the tetrahydropyrimidine family. Other salt forms include tartrate and pamoate salt, with the pamoate salt frequently used in veterinary research. Pyrantel is a nicotinic agonist for the acetylcholine (ACh) receptor. It is also a cholinesterase inhibitor.
Pyrantel Citrate is freely soluble in water.
