- W4292236777 abstract "Albendazole is considered the anthelmintic of choice for the management of rat lungworm disease (neuroangiostrongyliasis), due to its broad spectrum of nematocidal activity and its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Albendazole binds to β-tubulins, preventing their polymerization into microtubules, thereby corrupting the cascade of cell division at metaphase, which ultimately leads to the death of individual cells and eventually the death of the parasite. Inhibition of microtubule formation will also hinder the axoplasmic transport system, affecting the neuronal activities of the parasite. While this mechanism has been explicated in other parasitic and non-parasitic nematodes, it has never been evaluated in Angiostrongylus cantonensis. This study evaluates the antimitotic effects of albendazole sulphoxide (active metabolite) on the microtubules of adult A. cantonensis using the tubulin polymerization assay and measures its effects on worm viability using the colorimetric MTT assay. Three different concentrations of albendazole (62.5 μM, 250 μΜ, and 1 mM) were evaluated. We saw a statistically significant dose-dependent reduction in the band intensity of polymerized tubulins (or microtubules) (P = 0.019), suggesting that albendazole imparts its antimitotic effect in a dose-dependent manner. Similarly, our MTT assay showed a dose-dependent decrease in formazan intensity (proportional to cell viability), suggesting that the rate of nematocidal activity of albendazole is also proportional to its concentration. In compiling the results from both these experiments, a correlation between the microtubule assembly and worm viability is evident." @default.
