Essential insights

• Inhibition of energy metabolism: Febantel interferes with the parasite's energy production by disrupting microtubule function.
• Disruption of glucose uptake: It inhibits glucose absorption in the parasite, depleting its energy reserves and leading to death.
• Selective toxicity: Febantel is selectively toxic to parasites as it targets mechanisms absent in the host animal.
