Mebendazole: A benzimidazole that acts by interfering with CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM and inhibiting polymerization of MICROTUBULES.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Although mebendazole (MBZ) has demonstrated antitumor activity in glioblastoma models, the drug has low aqueous solubility and therefore is poorly absorbed."7.96Preparation and Evaluation of Mebendazole Microemulsion for Intranasal Delivery: an Alternative Approach for Glioblastoma Treatment.

"Mebendazole has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for parasitic infections, has a long track-record of safe human use, and was effective in our animal models with doses documented as safe in humans."5.37Antiparasitic mebendazole shows survival benefit in 2 preclinical models of glioblastoma multiforme. ( Aprhys, CM; Bai, RY; Gallia, GL; Riggins, GJ; Staedtke, V, 2011)

" Here, we show that mebendazole, a benzamidazole with a long history of safe use against nematode infestations and hydatid disease, potently inhibited Hh signaling and slowed the growth of Hh-driven human medulloblastoma cells at clinically attainable concentrations."3.81Repurposing the antihelmintic mebendazole as a hedgehog inhibitor. ( Bai, RY; Borodovsky, A; Bunz, F; Chung, JH; Larsen, AR; Riggins, GJ; Rudin, CM, 2015)
"Mebendazole (MBZ), first used as an antiparasitic drug, shows preclinical efficacy in models of glioblastoma and medulloblastoma."3.81Brain Penetration and Efficacy of Different Mebendazole Polymorphs in a Mouse Brain Tumor Model. ( Bai, RY; Gallia, GL; Joshi, A; Riggins, GJ; Rudek, MA; Staedtke, V; Wanjiku, T, 2015)
"A patient with hydatid cyst affecting the vermis and right cerebellar hemisphere is presented."2.38[Hydatidosis of the posterior fossa]. ( Cuello Contreras, JA; Jiménez-Mejías, ME; Pachón Díaz, J; Palomico Nicas, J; Polaina Bailón, M; Trujillo Madroñal, E, 1989)
"Mebendazole has been shown to inhibit microtubule formation, but it is not known whether its potency against tumor cells is mediated by this inhibitory effect."1.46Repurposing Mebendazole as a Replacement for Vincristine for the Treatment of Brain Tumors. ( Al Dimassi, S; Atlas, M; Boockvar, J; De Witt, M; Gamble, A; Hanson, D; Markowitz, D; Powell, C; Ruggieri, R; Symons, M, 2017)
"Mebendazole has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for parasitic infections, has a long track-record of safe human use, and was effective in our animal models with doses documented as safe in humans."1.37Antiparasitic mebendazole shows survival benefit in 2 preclinical models of glioblastoma multiforme.
