Thiabendazole is a fungicide and parasiticide.It is used primarily to control mold, blight, and other fungally caused diseases in fruits (e.g. oranges) and vegetables; it is also used as a prophylactic treatment for Dutch elm disease.
Use in treatment of aspergillosis has been reported.
As an antiparasitic, it is able to control roundworms (such as those causing strongyloidiasis) hookworms, and other helminth species which attack wild animals, livestock and humans.
Genes responsible for the maintenance of cell walls in yeast have been shown to be responsible for angiogenesis in vertebrates.Thiabendazole serves to block angiogenesis in both frog embryos and human cells. It has also been shown to serve as a vascular disrupting agent to reduce newly established blood vessels. Tiabendazole has been shown to effectively do this in certain cancer cells
