  3. Flubendazole

Flubendazole is an anthelmintic drug based on altering microtubule structure, inhibition of tubulin polymerization and disruption of microtubule function. Flubendazole induces apoptosis in human colorectal cancer (CRC) by blocking the STAT3 signaling axis and activation of autophagy. Flubendazole induces P53 expression and reduced Cyclin B1 and p-cdc2 expression. Flubendazole is an antitumor agent. Flubendazole can be used for worm and intestinal parasites.

Description

Flubendazole is an anthelmintic drug based on altering microtubule structure, inhibition of tubulin polymerization and disruption of microtubule function. Flubendazole induces apoptosis in human colorectal cancer (CRC) by blocking the STAT3 signaling axis and activation of autophagy. Flubendazole induces P53 expression and reduced Cyclin B1 and p-cdc2 expression. Flubendazole is an antitumor agent. Flubendazole can be used for worm and intestinal parasites[1][2].

IC50 & Target[1][2]

STAT3

 

In Vitro

Flubendazole (0-400 μM; 48 h) inhibits human colorectal cancer (CRC) cells proliferation[1].
Flubendazole (0.3-1.2 μM; 48 h) induces apoptosis in CRC cells[1].
Flubendazole (0.3-1.2 μM; 24 h) induces autophagy initiation by inactivating mTOR and P62, and upregulating LC3-I/II in CRC cells[1].
Flubendazole (0.3-1.2 μM; 24 h) strongly reduces the expression of P-STAT3 in a dose and time-dependent manner[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: CRC cells (HCT116, RKO and SW480)
Concentration: 0-400 μM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Effectively reduces the viability of CRC cells (HCT116, RKO and SW480) in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 2-5 μM.

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: CRC cells (HCT116, RKO and SW480)
Concentration: 0.3, 0.6, 1.2 μM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Increased the proportion of apoptotic cells in a dose-dependent manner.
Dose-dependently effectively increases caspase-3 activity.

Cell Autophagy Assay[1]

Cell Line: CRC cells (HCT116, RKO and SW480)
Concentration: 0.3, 0.6, 1.2 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Induced autophagy initiation by inactivating mTOR and P62, and upregulating LC3-I/II, which are classical marker of autophagy.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: CRC cells (HCT116, RKO and SW480)
Concentration: 0.3, 0.6, 1.2 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Strongly reduced the expression of phosphorylated STAT3 (P-STAT3) in a dose and time-dependent manner.
No obvious change in total STAT3 expression.
Decreased expression of MCL1 and survivin in a dose-dependent manner.
In Vivo

Flubendazole (10, 30 mg/kg; i.p; every other day; 14 days) inhibits growth of CRC tumor xenografts[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Female BALB/c athymic nude mice (6-8 weeks) with HCT116 cells[1]
Dosage: 10  or 30 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; every other day; 14 days
Result: Markedly reduced the tumor volume.
Significantly reduces the protein level of P-STAT3, promotes autophagy and induces apoptosis in vivo.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
