Rafoxanide is a synthetic compound. The mechanism of action of rafoxanide involves inhibiting the synthesis of fumarate reductase, an essential enzyme in the metabolic processes of helminths. This inhibition results in a reduction of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, which are vital for the survival and growth of helminths. By interfering with ATP production, rafoxanide impedes the energy supply necessary for the helminths continued existence.
