Abstract excerpt
Xenobiotic biotransformation is an important modulator of anthelmintic drug potency and a potential mechanism of anthelmintic resistance. Both the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and the ruminant parasite Haemonchus contortus biotransform benzimidazole drugs by glucose conjugation, likely catalysed by UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes. To identify C. elegans genes involved in benzimidazole drug...
