Triclabendazole, sold under the brand name Egaten among others, is a medication used to treat liver flukes, specifically fascioliasisand paragonimiasis.[1] It is very effective for both conditions.[1] Treatment in hospital may be required.[1] It is taken by mouth with typically one or two doses being required.[1]

Side effects are generally few, but can include abdominal pain and headaches.[1] Biliary colic may occur due to dying worms.[2] While no harms have been found with use during pregnancy, triclabendazole has not been well studied in this population.[2] It is a member of the benzimidazole family of medications for worms.[1]

Triclabendazole was approved for medical use in the United States in 2019.[3] It is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system.[4] For human use it can also be obtained from the World Health Organization.[2] It is also used in other animals.[5]

Chemistry

It is a member of the benzimidazole family of anthelmintics. The benzimidazole drugs share a common molecular structure, triclabendazole being the exception in having a chlorinated benzene ring but no carbamate group. Benzimidazoles such as triclabendazole are generally accepted to bind to beta-tubulin therefore preventing the polymerization of microtubules.

History

Since late 1990s, triclabendazole became available as a generic drug, as patents expired in many countries. Many products were developed then. Among them, Trivantel 15, a 15% triclabendazole suspension, was launched by Agrovet Market Animal Health in the early 2000s. In 2009, the first triclabendazole injectable solution (combined with ivermectin) was developed and launched, also by Agrovet Market Animal Health. The product, Fasiject Plus, a triclabendazole 36% and ivermectin 0.6% solution, is designed to treat infections by Fasciola hepatica (both immature and adult liver flukes), roundworms and ectoparasites, as well.

Fasinex is a brandname for veterinary use while Egaten is a brandname for human use.

Triclabendazole, chemically known as 5-chloro-6-(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)-2- (methylthio)-lH-benzimidazole represented by formula I,

Figure imgf000002_0001

is a halogenated benzimidazole compound that possesses high activity against immature and adult stages of the liver fluke, Faciola hepatica. The intensive use of Triclabendazole in endemic areas of facioliasis has resulted in the development of liver flukes resistant to this compound.

US 4, 197,307 discloses the process for the preparation of Triclabendazole, wherein 4- chloro-5-(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)-l,2-benzenediamine is reacted with carbondisulfide to give cyclic benzimidazole thione, which is further subjected to alkylation reaction with dimethyl sulfate to give Triclabendazole.

Chinese patent 10155523 ldescribes a process for the preparation of Triclabendazole by hydrolysing N-(4,5-dichloro-2-nitrophenyl)acetamide of formula VII to 4,5- dichloro-2-nitroaniline of formula VIII and condensing it with 2,3-dichlorophenol of formula VI in presence of a phase transfer catalyst to obtain 4-chloro-5(2,3- dichlorophenoxy)-2-nitroaniline of formula IV, which is further reduced in presence of Iron to obtain 4-chloro-5-(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)benzene-l ,2-diamine of formula III. The obtained diamine of formula III is cyclised in presence of carbondisulfide to obtain 6-chloro-5-(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)- lH-benzimidazole-2-thiol of formula II. The compound of formula II is methylated using dimethyl sulphate to obtain Triclabendazole of formula I. The process disclosed in this patent is illustrated in scheme 1 below:

6-chloro-5-(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)-2-(methylthio)-1H-benzimidazole

I

However, the above prior art process is not preferred at a commercial scale because the hydrolysis of N-(4,5-dichloro-2-nitrophenyl)acetamide of formula VII is carried out before condensation with 2,3-dichlorophenol of formula VI, which is labile to formation of impurities and moreover the condensation is carried out in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst. Further, Iron is used as a catalyst for reduction which is riot environment friendly and involves tedious work-up. The final compound Triclabendazole is directly obtained by the methylating the compound of formula II using dimethylsulfate. The purity of thus obtained Triclabendazole is not high. Thus it is highly desirable to develop a process which overcomes most of the prior art drawbacks. The present inventors have developed a process for the preparation of Thiabendazole, which is environment friendly, technologically safe, simple and cost effective
