Description
Dichlorophen is a nontoxic laxative vermicide of chlorinated phenol compound. It is an anticestodal agent, fungicide, germicide, anti-protozoan and antimicrobial agent. Its efficacy is restricted to Taenia spp, with poor to no activity against Echinococcus spp and Dipylidium caninum. Against these and other species, it may act against the strobilus, leaving the scolex to generate new proglottids. Its mechanism of action is thought to induce the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. Therefore, it can be included as an ingredient in antimicrobial soaps and shampoos. It can be used in combination with toluene for the removal of parasites such as ascarids, hookworms, and tapeworms from dogs and cats. Dichlorophene can be used as a growth regulator in containerized seedlings of pine and spruce to regulate plant growth.
