Levamisole is a synthetic imidazothiazole derivative that has been widely used to treat worm infestations in both humans and animals. As an anthelmintic, it likely acts by targeting the nematode nicotinic acetylcholine receptor due to its nicotine-like structure.
Levamisole hydrochloride's rapid metabolism in the body produces active metabolites with broad immunomodulatory effects, both stimulating and inhibiting immune responses. As an immunostimulant, levamisole may restore immune function by: 1) stimulating antibody formation, 2) stimulating T-cell activation and proliferation, 3) potentiating monocyte and macrophage phagocytosis and chemotaxis, and 4) increasing neutrophil mobility, adherence, and chemotaxis (ChemicalBook, 2020)
