Albendazole and Mebendazole as Anti-Parasitic and Anti-Cancer Agents: an Update
Korean J Parasitol. 2021 Jun;59(3):189-225. doi: 10.3347/kjp.2021.59.3.189. Epub 2021 Jun 21.ABSTRACTThe use of albendazole and mebendazole, i.e., benzimidazole broad-spectrum anthelmintics, in treatment of parasitic infections, as well as cancers, is briefly reviewed. These drugs are known to block the microtubule systems of parasites and mammalian cells leading to inhibition of glucose uptake and transport and finally cell death. Eventually they exhibit ovicidal, larvicidal, and vermicidal effects on parasites, and tumoricidal effects on hosts. Albendazole and mebendazole are most frequently prescribed for treatment of i...
