An anticancer drug that belongs to the family of drugs called antifungal agents. (NCI Dictionary)
Definition 2
A broad-spectrum benzimidazole antifungal with potential antimitotic and antineoplastic activities. Although the exact mechanism of action is unclear, carbendazim appears to binds to an unspecified site on tubulin and suppresses microtubule assembly dynamic. This results in cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and an induction of apoptosis. (NCI Thesaurus)
