Journal: Effects of green synthesized zinc nanoparticles alone and along with albendazole against hydatid cyst protoscoleces. (Pubmed Central) - May 24, 2022 However, compared to in vitro assay, the drugs tested took longer to show their protoscolicidal effect. Based on the obtained results, ZnNPs particularly in combination with albendazole displayed the potent protoscolicidal in vitro and ex vivo as an intraperitoneal model of administration of agents to hydatid cyst treatment; nevertheless, additional investigations are mandatory to evaluate the efficacy and safety Zn NPs as a favorable protoscolicidal agent in clinical setting.

Journal: Albendazole induces immunotherapy response by facilitating ubiquitin-mediated PD-L1 degradation. (Pubmed Central) - May 24, 2022 In endemic areas, bone and muscle involvement from echinococcosis should be considered during clinical investigation of chronic lumbar pain. Our findings revealed a previously unappreciated role of ABZ in antitumor immunity by inducing ubiquitin-mediated PD-L1 protein degradation, identified predictors for assessing the therapeutic efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy, and provided novel therapeutic possibility by combination treatment of ABZ and CD73 blockade in cancers.

CASE REPORT: PEDIATRIC CUTANEOUS LARVA MIGRANS IN SOUTH TEXAS WITH SUPERIMPOSED BACTERIAL INFECTION () - May 19, 2022 - Abstract #ESPID2022ESPID_1048; The disease is diagnosed clinically and is usually self-limited after several weeks, though albendazole may hasten the resolution of prolonged symptoms...Clindamycin and Incision & Drainage had small improvements on lesions, and the intense itching got worse at night that woke her up from sleep...Learning Points/ Further history revealed that the patient often walked barefoot outdoors, and her family had various pets. Understanding the risk factors and clinical presentations of CLM ensures higher chances of accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, which could further lead to a swift recovery, decrease the likelihood of secondary complications, and avoid side effects of antibiotic therapy.

A detailed clinical history is essential in the investigation, and, despite Ss being associated with mild and benign disease, it is important to consider the possibility of chronic infection, with more serious consequences in cases of immunosuppression.

Journal: Metabolic stability of glyphosate and its environmental metabolite (aminomethylphosphonic acid) in the ruminal content of cattle. (Pubmed Central) - May 6, 2022 Metabolic viability of RC was assessed by the measurement of the sulpho-reduction of the anthelmintic derivative albendazole sulphoxide (ABZSO) into albendazole (ABZ) in the absence (controls) or in presence of GLY and AMPA...Their presence in high proportion in the fluid phase of the ruminal content may give rise to a rapid flow of both GLY and AMPA to the posterior gastrointestinal tract. Negative effects on the ruminal biotransformation of therapeutically used drugs would not be expected when the herbicide and its degradation product are consumed with food.

(Pubmed Central) - May 3, 2022 The anthelmintic activity on encapsulated T. spiralis was studied in vitro thus indicating that all hydrazones were more active than the clinically used anthelmintic drugs albendazole and ivermectin...The relative radical scavenging ability of compounds 5a-l showed a good correlation to the experimentally observed trends. It was found that the studied compounds are capable to react with various free radicals - ˙OCH, ˙OOH and ˙OOCH, through several possible reaction pathways - HAT in nonpolar medium, SPLET in polar medium and RAF in both media.

Review, Journal: Current perspective of new anti-Wolbachial and direct-acting macrofilaricidal drugs as treatment strategies for human filariasis. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 26, 2022 Current treatment recommendations by the WHO include mass drug administration with ivermectin for the treatment of onchocerciasis and a combination of ivermectin, albendazole and diethylcarbamazine (DEC) for the treatment of lymphatic filariasis in areas that are not co-endemic for onchocerciasis or loiasis...Thus, to achieve the elimination of transmission of onchocerciasis and the elimination of lymphatic filariasis as a public health problem by 2030, the WHO defined in its roadmap that new alternative treatment strategies with macrofilaricidal compounds are required. Within a collaboration of the non-profit organizations Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and partners from academia and industry, several new promising macrofilaricidal drug candidates were identified, which will be discussed in this review.

Journal: Discovery of Cinnamylidene Derivative of Rhodanine with High Anthelmintic Activity against Rhabditis sp. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 19, 2022 In the tested group of rhodanine derivatives, only compound 2 shows very high biological activity (LC = 0.93 µg/µL), which is higher than the reference drug albendazole (LC = 19.24 µg/µL)...Molecular modelling and selected physicochemical properties prediction were performed to assess the potential mechanism of action and applied in the search for an explanation as to why amongst all similar compounds only one is active.
