Abstract
⺠Emodepside is a broad spectrum cyclooctadepsipeptide anthelmintic drug. ⺠It has a mode of action different from the other classical groups of anthelmintics. ⺠We review its mode of action that show it inhibits neuronal and muscle activity. ⺠Rescue experiments suggest emodepside opens nematode Ca-dependent SLO-1 K channels. ⺠Its slow time-dependent action suggests it does not act in the extracellular domain of these channel.
