Benzimidazoles have shown significant promise for repurposing as a cancer therapy. The aims of this review are to investigate the possibilities and limitations of the anti-cancer effects of benzimidazole anthelmintics and to suggest ways to overcome these limitations. This review included studies...

Ancylostoma caninum is an important zoonotic gastrointestinal nematode of dogs worldwide and a close relative of human hookworms. We recently reported that racing greyhound dogs in the USA are infected with A. caninum that are commonly resistant to multiple anthelmintics. Benzimidazole resistance...

In this work the selectivity of commercial molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) cartridges for nitroimidazoles has been evaluated. For this, a sample treatment based on molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction (MISPE) has been developed and applied to the simultaneous extraction of...

Background: Anthelmintic resistance to benzimidazole has been detected in the canine hookworm, Ancylostoma caninum. Benzimidazole resistance is believed to have developed originally in greyhounds, but has also been detected in non-greyhound pet dogs. The aim of this study was to validate a...

Goat production in Mexico is an important economic activity that is affected by different gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) species. GINs resistant to commercial anthelmintics have been reported. Plant extracts or agro-industrial by-products, such as coffee pulp, have been proposed as control...

Background: Helminthiasis and resistance to commercial anthelmintic compounds are major causes of economic losses for livestock producers, resulting in an urgent need for new drugs and reliable in vitro screening tests capable of detecting potentially active products. Considering this, a series of...

Benzimidazoles are anthelmintics frequently used in sheep farming due to the high susceptibility of these animals to parasitic diseases. Sheep excreta are often disposed onto soils as a fertilizer, and they may contain benzimidazole residues that can contaminate soil and water. This work aimed to...

The main objective of this study was to synthesize the molecularly imprinted boron nitride material and develop a high efficient method for extraction of the residue of veterinary drug in food sample. During the experiments, the molecularly imprinted microspheres with 2-aminobenzimidazole as the...

As a typical and broad-spectrum benzimidazole, mebendazole (MBZ) has long been used in human and veterinary medicine to treat parasitic infestations, and is widely employed in the aquaculture of Japanese pufferfish (Takifugu rubripes). However, there have been no studies examining the...

In the Stavropol Territory, the treatment of sheep against strongylates of the gastrointestinal tract coincides with the 3^rd treatment against moniezia, and when animals are kept indoors, benzimidazoles are used (separately and in combination with other preparations) against...
