Product Data
Biological target:
Parbendazole is a potent inhibitor of microtubule assembly, destabilizes tubulin, with an EC50 of 530 nM, and exhibits a broad-spectrum anthelmintic activity.
In vitro activity:
Notably, parbendazole was the most potent benzimidazole affecting PC cell viability, with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values in the nanomolar range. The drug markedly inhibited proliferation, clonogenicity and migration of PC cell lines through mechanisms involving alteration of microtubule organization and formation of irregular mitotic spindles. Moreover, parbendazole interfered with cell cycle progression promoting G2/M arrest, followed by the emergence of enlarged, polyploid cells. Reference: Cancers (Basel). 2019 Dec 17;11(12):2042. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31861153/
In vivo activity:
HN6 xenograft model was used to evaluate parbendazole anti-tumor efficacy. In this study, parbendazole showed dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition without altering the bodyweight of mice (Fig. 7A and B), indicating its excellent in vivo anti-tumor efficacy and low toxicity. Furthermore, this study further conducted another evaluation of in vivo anticancer activity by using a zebrafish bearing HN6 xenograft and observed a good therapeutic effect of parbendazole as well (Fig. 7C and D).
