Mebendazole

Synonyms: Mebenvet

Mebendazole is a synthetic benzimidazole derivate and anthelmintic agent. Mebendazole interferes with the reproduction and survival of helminths by inhibiting the formation of their cytoplasmic microtubules, thereby selectively and irreversibly blocking glucose uptake.

Biological Activity

Description Mebendazole is a synthetic benzimidazole derivate and anthelmintic agent. Mebendazole interferes with the reproduction and survival of helminths by inhibiting the formation of their cytoplasmic microtubules, thereby selectively and irreversibly blocking glucose uptake.
In vitro
In vitro mebendazole (MZ), a derivative of benzimidazole, induces a dose- and time-dependent apoptotic response in human lung cancer cell lines. MZ arrests cells at the G2-M phase before the onset of apoptosis. MZ treatment also results in mitochondrial cytochrome c release, followed by apoptotic cell death. Additionally, MZ appears to be a potent inhibitor of tumor cell growth with little toxicity to normal WI38 and human umbilical vein endothelial cells[2].
Cell Research Cell lines A549, WI38 normal fibroblasts, H1299 and H460 cancer cell line
Concentrations 0, 0.2, 0.5, 1 μM
Incubation Time 48 h
Method When grown to 40–50% confluence, the cells are exposed to MZ dissolved in DMSO. Cell growth is monitored by counting the viable cells using a hemacytometer.
In Vivo
In vivo When administered p.o. to nu/nu mice, MZ strongly inhibits the growth of human tumor xenografts and significantly reduces the number and size of tumors in an experimental model of lung metastasis. MZ treatment significantly reduces vessel densities in mice compared with those in control mice[2].
Animal Research Animal Models Mice
Dosages 12.5 and 25 mg/kg/day
Administration oral administration

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
