Product descriptions

Niclosamide is an FDA-approved drug that can elicit anti-tumor effects via direct STAT3 inhibition, which has been revealed in numerous human cancer cells. Chemotherapy is the standard treatment for advanced esophageal cancer but causes severe systemic side effects. The present study represents the first study to evaluate the anticancer efficacy of niclosamide in esophageal cancer. By Western blot analysis, it has been demonstrated that niclosamide inhibits STAT3 signaling pathways in esophageal adenocarcinoma cells (BE3) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells (CE48T and CE81T).

Furthermore, niclosamide is an oral antifungal agent used to treat parasitic infections in millions of people around the world. However, according to recent studies, niclosamide may have wide clinical applications for the treatment of diseases other than those caused by parasites. These diseases and symptoms may include cancer, bacterial and viral infections, type II diabetes, metabolic diseases such as NASH and NAFLD, arterial stenosis, endometriosis, neuropathic pain, rheumatoid arthritis, sclerotic graft-to-host disease, and systemic sclerosis. Among the basic mechanisms involved in the drug action of niclosamide are the isolation of oxidative phosphorylation and the regulation of Wnt/β-catenin, mTORC1, STAT3, NF-κB, and notch signaling pathways.

Usage/capacity

No special preparation or additional steps (e.g., special diet, fasting, other medicines, laxatives, or enemas) are required before, during, or immediately after taking closamide. Niclosamide can be taken on an empty stomach (one or two hours after meals). However, it is best to take it after a light meal (e.g., breakfast) to prevent gastrointestinal disturbances. Niclosamide tablets should be thoroughly chewed or ground and then swallowed with a small amount of water. When this drug is given to a young child, the tablet should be ground into a fine powder and mixed with a small amount of water to make a paste.
