Product Parameters

Product Details

1. Overview

Levamisole Hydrochloride is a synthetic imidazothiazole anthelmintic that was first developed in the late 1960s. It is the levo-rotatory isomer of tetramisole and is widely used in veterinary medicine for the treatment and control of gastrointestinal nematodes in livestock and companion animals. Knowlux supplies levamisole hydrochloride as a research-grade material for veterinary and laboratory use; this supply is not intended for human administration and does not constitute a therapeutic product for human use.

2. Research Context (Not a Human Therapeutic Claim)

Published literature describes levamisole as an imidazothiazole compound studied in in vitro and in vivo research models, with a mechanism involving nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonism in parasites and effects on T-cell function in immunological research. These descriptions are derived from published research and are provided for scientific reference only. Knowlux makes no claims regarding the efficacy, safety, or suitability of this product for any human application. Promotion of levamisole hydrochloride for human immunomodulation, cancer adjuvant therapy, or any human therapeutic indication is not supported by Knowlux and is inconsistent with research-use-only supply. Levamisole is listed on the WADA Prohibited List and has been associated with illicit use as an adulterant; appropriate handling and distribution controls should be observed.

3. Quality Control

Full COA, MSDS, and lot-specific chromatograms are issued with each shipment.

4. Applications
