=== Fungicide ===
In dogs and cats thiabendazole is also used to treat ear infections.
Tiabendazole acts as a fungicide through binding fungal tubulin. Resistant '']'' specimens were found to have a mutation in the gene coding for β-tubulin, which was reversible by a mutation in the gene for α-tubulin. This showed that thiabendazole binds to both α- and β-tubulin.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Wang |first=C.

==Safety== === Other ===
In dogs and cats, tiabendazole is used to treat ear infections.{{clarify|Infection by what type of organism? Parasite, bacteria, virus?|date=April 2019}}
The substance appears to have a slight toxicity in higher doses, with effects such as liver and intestine disorder at high exposure in test animals (just below {{LD50}} level).{{Fact|date=June 2008}} Some reproductive disorders and decreasing weanling weight have been observed, also at high exposure. Effects on humans from use as drug includes nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, or headache; very rarely also ringing in the ears, vision changes, stomach pain, yellowing eyes and skin, dark urine, fever, fatigue, increased thirst and change in the amount of urine.{{Fact|date=June 2008}} No mutagenic or carcinogenic effects have been shown.

== Research ==
Genes responsible for the maintenance of cell walls in yeast have been shown to be responsible for ] in vertebrates. Tiabendazole 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.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Cha HJ, Byrom M, Mead PE, Ellington AD, Wallingford JB, Marcotte EM | title = Evolutionarily repurposed networks reveal the well-known antifungal drug thiabendazole to be a novel vascular disrupting agent | journal = PLOS Biology | volume = 10 | issue = 8 | pages = e1001379 | date = August 2012 | pmid = 22927795 | pmc = 3423972 | doi = 10.1371/journal.pbio.1001379 | doi-access = free }}</ref>

Intermediate aryl ] ('''2''') is prepared by ]-catalyzed addition of ] to the nitrile of 4-cyanothiazole ('''1''').<ref>{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1021/jo01012a061| title = Novel Preparation of Benzimidazoles from N-Arylamidines.
