Parbendazole is a tubulin destabilizer, with an EC50 of 530 nM, and can induce DNA damage[1]. Parbendazole (2-10 μM) inhibits the assembly of microtubules dose-dependently, with an IC50 of 3 μM. Parbendazole (2-20 μM)-treated cells show an complete absence of microtubules in Vero cells[2]. Parbendazole (up to 10 μM) inhibits the growth of CLd-AXE myxamoebae. Parbendazole (2-5 μM) potently inhibits tubulin purified from the wild-type myxamoebae[3].

DMSO : 4 mg/mL (16.18 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 2 years; -20°C, 1 year. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 2 years. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 year.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: 0.4 mg/mL (1.62 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 0.4 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (4.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: 0.4 mg/mL (1.62 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 0.4 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (4.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
Pure tubulin is obtained from sheep brain by 2 cycles of assembly and disassembly in vitro. Immediately prior to use the protein is centrifuged at 130000 g for 30 min to remove any aggregates. It is used at a protein concentration of 0-2 mg/mL in 0.025 M Pipes buffer, 0-5 mM EGTA, 0-25 mM Mg2SOsup>4, 0.1 mM GTP. Drug binding is determined by equilibrium dialysis using concentrations of parbendazole between 0.1 μM and 4 μM, and 2% (v/v) DMF (dimethyl formamide) as a carrier. Equilibrium is achieved by constant stirring for 2 h at 26°C, bovine serum albumin being used as a standard. 200 μL aliquots are counted in PCS in a 25-200B liquid scintillation counter[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Vero cells, an established cell line derived from monkey kidney are seeded in DMEM supplemented with 10% (v/v) foetal calf serum onto glass coverslips in multiwell dishes. They are allowed to settle, and spread for 2-5 h in a humid atmosphere at 37°C. After this time the medium is changed to DMEM containing 2, 10 or 20 μM parbendazole and 1% (v/v) DMSO controls contained 1 % (v/v) DMSO or had no additions[2].
