This review highlights the repositioning of #Albendazole from an #Anthelmintic to an #Anticancer agent, with demonstrated applications across diverse malignancies, and underscores the broader promise of #DrugRepurposing in #Oncology.
Currently marking #WorldNeglectedTropicalDiseasesDay by discussing whether this new proposal for Canada to rely more on foreign regulatory approvals would finally get #EssentialMedicines like #albendazole onto the Canadian market.
Perhaps still not profitable enough💰💊for pharma.😒

Lots to like in this #pharmacare report (it's feisty!) tho I still worry its approach to WHO #EssentialMedicines lets fall through the cracks the many drugs on the WHO EML💊📜, from #albendazole to #tuberculosis drugs, that aren't actually sold in Canada despite being the recognized standard of care.
Since then, several studies, clinical trials, and partnerships have shaped the development of our fixed-dose combination of #ivermectin & #albendazole. Want to see how far we’ve come?

Holothuria polii extract shows potent #anthelmintic and #antiinflammatory activity, surpassing #Albendazole by inducing faster worm paralysis and death. Through #MolecularDocking, they identified strong tubulin-binding compounds.
#OpenAccess in Open Chemistry:
Our fixed-dose tablet combines two key anthelmintic drugs to control soil-transmitted helminths 👇
💊 #Albendazole, which blocks the worms’ ability to absorb glucose
💊 And #ivermectin, which paralyses and kills the worms
By combining them, we reduce the chances of resistance emergence!

Note: To be included on the list, the drug actually has to be available in Canada... so a WHO Essential Medicine like #albendazole, which is on the European Union's list of Critical Medicines (www.ema.europa.eu/en/human-reg...) but not marketed in Canada isn't actually part of this discussion...💊📜
Screenshot of three paragraphs of the linked article dealing with diagnosis and treatment, including the highlighted statement that the preferred medication isn't Health Canada approved, and requires special authorization for use and importation
Solid piece on an emerging disease in Canada (the treatment in question is the WHO-listed Essential Medicine #albendazole).

It being #WorldNTDDay today, worth underscoring that the drugs absent from Canada (... drugs like #albendazole) are very disproportionately drugs for NTDs.⬇️

"Another benzimidazole compound, #albendazole, was able to target ubiquilin-4, a protein that interacts with and stabilizes #PDL1, thus promoting its proteasomal degradation."

"For example, compounds belonging to the class of benzimidazoles, such as mebendazole and #albendazole, were found to exert cytostatic and cytotoxic effects on colorectal cancer (CRC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-derived cell lines, as well as in vivo models."
Antiparasitic effect of #allopurinol, alone or combined with #albendazole, in murine #trichinellosis. Allopurinol more efficient on muscular larvae & albendazole on intestinal adults. Promising results when combining the two drugs to be confirmed. See El Dib & al puj.journals.ekb.eg/article_4032...
The updated version of the European Union List of Critical Medicines is out. 💊📃 www.ema.europa.eu/en/human-reg...
Meanwhile, in #Canada, medicines listed as critical in the EU (and #EssentialMedicines by the WHO) like #bedaquiline and #albendazole still aren't formally available...
