Niclosamide, an anthelmintic drug, is the small-molecule inhibitor of STAT3 with an IC50 value of 0.25±0.07μM[1]. Niclosamide has been widely used in cancer research and metabolic regulation studies, and is employed as a model compound to develop a series of derivatives[2].
In vitro, Niclosamide treatment for 3 days significantly inhibited the viability of HL-60 cells, with an IC50 value of 0.28 ± 0.03μM[3]. Treatment with 0.6µM Niclosamide for 24 hours significantly inhibited the expression of LRP6 in HEK293 cells and blocked the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway[4]. Treatment with 20μM Niclosamide for 24 hours significantly inhibited the viability of TPC-1 cells, causing the cells to become vacuolated and disintegrated[5]. Treatment with 0.5μM Niclosamide for 12 hours significantly inhibited the migration rate of BD140A cells and reduced the levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition mediators (N-cadherin and vimentin)[6].
In vivo, Niclosamide treatment via daily intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 10mg/kg for 21 days can significantly alleviate the pulmonary fibrosis symptoms induced by bleomycin in mice and inhibit the accumulation of collagen[7]. Oral administration of Niclosamide at a dose of 200mg/kg/day for 9 weeks improved myocardial hypertrophy, cardiac fibrosis and cardiac dysfunction in mice with aortic coarctation [8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | TPC-1 cells |
Preparation Method | The TPC-1 cells were cultured in RPIM 1640 medium containing 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% antibiotics (penicillin and streptomycin) at 37°C and 5% CO2. The exponentially growing TPC-1 cells (3000-5000 cells per well) were seeded in 96-well plates. After incubation for 24 hours, the cells were treated with different concentrations of Niclosamide (0, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, and 20μM). Each treatment was carried out for 24 hours, and 20μL of 5mg/mL MTT was added to each well and incubated at 37°C. The medium was removed, and 150μL DMSO was added to each well to dissolve the methylene blue. The absorbance was recorded at 570nm. |
Reaction Conditions | 0, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, and 20μM; 24h |
Applications | Niclosamide treatment significantly inhibited the viability of TPC-1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Swiss albino mice |
Preparation Method | Eight-week-old male Swiss albino mice were raised in a standard environment with free access to food and water, and were maintained under a 12/12 light-dark cycle. The mice were randomly divided into the following groups (n=10): control group; Bleomycin alone group (1.5IU/kg Bleomycin); Bleomycin + Niclosamide group (10mg/kg). DMSO and polyethylene glycol 200 (in a ratio of 1:4) were used as the carrier for Niclosamide administration in the physiological saline. The DMSO concentration was 1% in the saline. The required amount of Niclosamide was weighed, dissolved in DMSO:PEG (1:4 ratio) saline, and the probes were thoroughly treated with ultrasound before administration. Mice were injected with 1.5IU/kg Bleomycin on the 0th day, and intraperitoneally injected Niclosamide once daily from the 1st to the 21st day. On the day of the end of the experiment (the 21st day), lung tissues were taken and preserved for evaluating various biochemical parameters, pathology and molecular biology studies. |
Dosage form | 10mg/kg for 21 days; i.p. |
Applications | Niclosamide treatment alleviated pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin in mice. |
