Bephenium

An anthelmintic, a quaternary ammonium salt, formerly used against hookworms and roundworms: its effectiveness in ascariasis was already being studied in 1960. It is no longer in current use. This family brings together the active ingredient and other impurities.

Did you know?Taken by mouth it is barely absorbed, less than 1%: so it stays in the gut, exactly where the worms it targets live. It was used as a salt with 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid.
