Description: Fenbendazole, also known as Panacur, is a benzimidazole-class anthelmintic. Intensive treatments with Fenbendazole were toxic to EMT6 cells in vitro; toxicity increased with incubation time and under conditions of severe hypoxia. Fenbendazole did not alter the dose-response curves for radiation or docetaxel; instead, the agents produced additive cytotoxicities. Febendazole in maximally-intensive regimens did not alter the growth of EMT6 tumors, or increase the antineoplastic effects of radiation.

Product Data:
Biological target: Fenbendazole is a broad spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintic used against gastrointestinal parasites.
In vitro activity: The 2-h incubation with fenbendazole was not toxic to aerobic EMT6 cells and produced no changes in the numbers of cells in the monolayer cultures, even at doses approaching the limit of solubility of the drug. The 24-h treatment with fenbendazole resulted in significant decreases in both the numbers of cells in the cultures at the end of treatment and the clonogenicity of those cells. Reference: Anticancer Res. 2013 Feb; 33(2): 355–362. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3580766/
In vivo activity: In this investigation, mice fed FBZ (fenbendazole)-supplemented food during the in utero and post-weaning period developed attenuated lung eosinophilia, antigen-specific IgG1 and Th2 cytokine responses in a model of asthma. Treatment of the mediastinal lymph node cells from allergic mice with FBZ in vitro attenuated cell proliferation, IL-5 and IL-13 production and expression of the early lymphocyte activation marker, CD69 on CD4(+) T cells and CD19(+) B cells. In addition, eosinophilia and Th2 responses remained attenuated after a 4-week withholding period in allergic mice treated preweaning with FBZ.
