Announcing a new article publication in BIO Integration. According to World Health Organization (WHO) reports, parasitic infections substantially affect the world’s population and are responsible for more than 16 million annual deaths in developing countries. Trichomoniasis, giardiasis, cryptosporidiosis, and toxoplasmosis, the most common helminthic infections in humans, are treated with anthelmintics and antibiotics that achieve synergistic effects. The key anthelmintic drug Albendazole (ABZ) has drawbacks of low solubility. Anthelmintics fall under biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS) class II and are therefore administered through conventional approaches and novel nanomedicine techniques to enhance their biopharmaceutical properties and therapeutic efficacy. This review examined the literature on anthelmintics with appreciable benefits. Because the nanomedicine development of ABZ was contemporaneous with its repurposing as an anticancer agent, with or without nanoformulation, this review also addresses the repositioning of ABZ to treat diverse cancers including colon cancer, brain tumors, malignant melanoma, and breast cancer.

Testimonials

For well over a decade, in my capacity as a researcher, broadcaster, and producer, I have relied heavily on Alphagalileo.
All of my work trips have been planned around stories that I've found on this site.
The under embargo section allows us to plan ahead and the news releases enable us to find key experts.
Going through the tailored daily updates is the best way to start the day. It's such a critical service for me and many of my colleagues.
Koula Bouloukos, Senior manager, Editorial & Production Underknown
We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
