Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of death worldwide. The most effective way to treat myocardial infarction is to rescue ischemic cardiomyocytes. After an ischemic event, the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a key driver of myocardial injury. The produced ROS affects mitochondrial function and induces apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. This was accomplished by constructing platelet-membrane-encapsulated ROS-responsive drug-releasing nanoparticles (PMN@NIC-MalNPs) to deliver malonate and niclosamide (NIC). The results revealed that PMN@NIC-MalNPs degraded and released malonate and niclosamide in a high-level ROS microenvironment, effectively reducing the oxidative stress and apoptosis rate. By enhancing basal mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate (OCR), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, and spare respiratory capacity (SRC) in vitro, reduced the oxidative stress levels and restored mitochondrial function. In vivo studies revealed that the PMN@NIC-MalNPs improved cardiac dysfunction, inhibited succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity, increased ATP production, and reduced the myocardial infarct size in myocardial infarction model mice. Further, transcriptome analysis and Western blot revealed that PMN@NIC-MalNPs prevented apoptosis by activating the expressions of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and Bcl-2, and inhibiting the expression of Bax. Thus, this study provides a novel therapeutic solution for treating myocardial infarction and predicting the viability of an antioxidant and antiapoptotic therapeutic solution in the treatment of myocardial injury.

Abstract
Niclosamide (NIC) is a commonly used molluscicide that reportedly disrupts the endocrine system and may lead to lipid metabolism disorders. However, few studies have investigated the mechanism by which NIC affects the endocrine system from the perspective of lipid metabolism. Adult female zebrafish were fed either a normal-fat diet (NFD) or a high-fat diet (HFD) and then exposed for 28 days to environmentally relevant concentrations of NIC. NIC accumulated most in the liver followed by the brain and then the gonads in both feeding conditions. Somatic index changes confirmed that HFD promotes fish growth, and NIC administration inhibits it. Lipid metabolites were decreased by NIC, as were levels of pregnenolone, androstenedione, estrogen, testosterone, and estradiol, suggesting that NIC impacted steroidogenesis. In addition, gene transcription changes related to the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad-liver (HPGL) axis and altered ovarian histology strongly suggest that environmental relevant concentrations of NIC exposure may disrupt endocrine function. These findings highlighted that NIC exposure at environmentally relevant concentrations elicited endocrine-disruption effects may through impairing of steroid hormone synthesis.

Abstract
Sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) control in the Laurentian Great Lakes of North America makes use of two pesticides: 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) and niclosamide, which are often co-applied. Sea lamprey appear to be vulnerable to these agents resulting from a lack of detoxification responses with evidence suggesting that lampricide mixtures produce a synergistic effect. However, there is a lack of information pertaining to the physiological responses of sea lamprey to niclosamide and TFM:niclosamide mixtures. Here, we characterized the transcriptomic responses of the sea lamprey to TFM, niclosamide, and a TFM:niclosamide (1.5 %) mixture in the gill. Along with a control, larval sea lamprey were exposed to each treatment for 6 h, after which gill tissues were extracted for measuring whole-transcriptome responses using RNA sequencing. Differential gene expression patterns were summarized, which included identifying the broad roles of genes and common expression patterns among the treatments. While niclosamide treatment resulted in no differentially expressed genes, TFM- and mixture-treated fish had several differentially expressed genes that were associated with the cell cycle, DNA damage, metabolism, immune function, and detoxification. However, there was no common differential expression among treatments. For the first time, we characterized the transcriptomic response of sea lamprey to niclosamide and a TFM:niclosamide mixture and identified that these agents impact mRNA transcript abundance of genes associated with the cell cycle and cellular death, and immune function, which are likely mediated through mitochondrial dysregulation. These results may help to inform the production of more targeted and effective lampricides in sea lamprey control efforts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a life-threatening interstitial lung disease, is characterized by excessive activation and proliferation of fibroblasts and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) accompanied by a large amount of extracellular matrix aggregation. There are no therapies to reverse pulmonary fibrosis, and nintedanib and pirfenidone could only slow down the decline of lung function of IPF patients and delay their survival time. Niclosamide (Ncl) is an antihelminthic drug approved by FDA, which has been reported to have pleiotropic pharmacological activities in recent years, but it's almost complete insolubility in water limits its clinical application. OBJECTIVES To improve the water solubility of Ncl, explore its ability to reverse BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis and its specific mechanism of action. METHODS The Niclosamide-loaded nanoparticles (Ncl-NPs) were formed by emulsification solvent evaporation method. A mouse model induced by bleomycin (BLM) was established to evaluate its effects and mechanisms of inhibiting and reversing fibrosis in vivo. The cell models treated by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were used to examine the mechanism of Ncl-NPs inhibiting fibrosis in vitro. Flow cytometry, IHC, IL-4-induced macrophage model and co-culture system were used to assess the effect of Ncl-NPs on M2 polarization of macrophages. RESULTS The Ncl-NPs improved the poor water solubility of Ncl. The lower dose of Ncl-NPs (2.5 mg/kg) showed the same effect of reversing established pulmonary fibrosis as free Ncl (5 mg/kg). Mechanistic studies revealed that Ncl-NPs blocked TGF-β/Smad and signaling transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) signaling pathways and inhibited the M2 polarization of macrophages. Additionally, H&E staining of the tissues initially showed the safety of Ncl-NPs. CONCLUSION These results indicate Ncl-NPs may serve as a new idea for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
Chemotherapy typically destroys the tumor mass but rarely eradicates the cancer stem cells (CSCs) that can drive metastatic recurrence. A key current challenge is finding ways to eradicate CSCs and suppress their characteristics. Here, we report a prodrug, Nic-A, created by combining a carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) inhibitor, acetazolamide, with a signal transducer and transcriptional activator 3 (STAT3) inhibitor, niclosamide. Nic-A was designed to target triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) CSCs and was found to inhibit both proliferating TNBC cells and CSCs via STAT3 dysregulation and suppression of CSC-like properties. Its use leads to a decrease in aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 activity, CD44high/CD24low stem-like subpopulations, and tumor spheroid-forming ability. TNBC xenograft tumors treated with Nic-A exhibited decreased angiogenesis and tumor growth, as well as decreased Ki-67 expression and increased apoptosis. In addition, distant metastases were suppressed in TNBC allografts derived from a CSC-enriched population. This study thus highlights a potential strategy for addressing CSC-based cancer recurrence.

Abstract
Niclosamide has been proposed as a possible candidate for a Covid-19 drug. However, the metabolites of niclosamide are difficult to investigate because they are usually not available commercially or they are quite expensive in the commercial market. In this study, the major metabolite of niclosamide in human liver microsomes (HLMs) was confirmed to be 3-OH niclosamide. Because the production of 3-OH niclosamide using HLMs has a slow turnover rate, a new method of producing niclosamide metabolite with an easier and highly cost-efficient method was thus conducted. Bacterial CYP102A1 (BM3) is one of the bacterial cytochrome P450s (CYPs) from Bacillus megaterium that structurally show similar activities to human CYPs. Here, the BM3 mutants were used to produce niclosamide metabolites and the metabolites were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography and LC-mass spectrometry. Among a set of mutants tested here, BM3 M14 mutant was the most active in producing 3-OH niclosamide, the major metabolite of niclosamide. Comparing BM3 M14 and HLMs, BM3 M14 production of 3-OH niclosamide was 34-fold higher than that of HLMs. Hence, the engineering of BM3 can be a cost-efficient method to produce 3-OH niclosamide.

Abstract
In the current study, adult male zebrafish fed a normal diet (ND) or high-fat diet (HFD) were exposed to niclosamide (NIC) at environmentally relevant concentrations to reveal the accumulation and distribution in different tissues and evaluate the effects on liver-gut axis. Chemical analysis indicated that the liver bore a greater burden of NIC compared with the brain and gonads in adult zebrafish, and the HFD-fed fish bore greater burden in their liver and brain than those ND-fed fish. The indications from body weight, growth rate, body mass index, micro-CT images, biochemical and pathological changes confirmed that NIC can efficaciously curb weight gain and improve overloads of in plasma insulin and glucose in HFD-fed zebrafish. However, the potential effects on liver-gut axis in ND-fed zebrafish were also elucidated: NIC disturbed mitochondrial energy production, inhibited the glycemic and triacylglycerol biosynthesis but promoted triacylglycerol and free fatty acid catabolism, therefore reduced lipid accumulation in hepatocytes; NIC also impaired the physical barrier, evoked inflammatory and oxidative stress and led to microbiota dysbiosis in the intestine. There findings highlighted the necessity for evaluating its potential impacts on the health of wild animals as well as human beings upon long-term exposure.

Abstract
AIM/PURPOSE Niclosamide (NCL) is an anthelminthic drug, which is widely used to treat various diseases due to its pleiotropic anti-inflammatory and antiviral activities. NCL modulates of uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation and different signaling pathways in human biological processes. The wide-spectrum antiviral effect of NCL makes it a possible candidate for recent pandemic SARS-CoV-2 infection and may reduce Covid-19 severity. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to review and clarify the potential role of NCL in Covid-19. METHODS This study reviewed and highlighted the protective role of NCL therapy in Covid-19. A related literature search in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Science Direct was done. RESULTS NCL has noteworthy anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects. The primary antiviral mechanism of NCL is through neutralization of endosomal PH and inhibition of viral protein maturation. NCL acts as a proton carrier, inhibits homeostasis of endosomal PH, which limiting of viral proliferation and release. The anti-inflammatory effects of NCL are mediated by suppression of inflammatory signaling pathways and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, the major limitation in using NCL is low aqueous solubility, which reduces oral bioavailability and therapeutic serum concentration that reducing the in vivo effect of NCL against SARS-CoV-2. CONCLUSIONS NCL has anti-inflammatory and immune regulatory effects by modulating the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, inhibition of NF-κB /NLRP3 inflammasome and mTOR signaling pathway. NCL has an anti-SARS-CoV-2 effect via interruption of viral life-cycle and/or induction of cytopathic effect. Prospective clinical studies and clinical trials are mandatory to confirm the potential role of NCL in patients with Covid-19 concerning the severity and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
The transformation of organic halogenated pesticides by laccase-mediator system has been investigated. Twelve pesticides were assayed in the presence of nine different mediators. Acetosyringone and syringaldehyde showed to be the best mediators. The halogenated pesticides bromoxynil, niclosamide, bromofenoxim and dichlorophen were transformed by the laccase-syringaldehyde system showing catalytic activities of 48.8, 142.0, 166.2 and 1257.6nmolmin(-1)U(-1), respectively. The highest pesticide transformation rates were obtained with a mediator-substrate proportion of 5:1, one of the lowest reported so far for the laccase-mediator systems. The analysis of the main product from the dichlorophen transformation showed that an oxidative dehalogenation is involved in the catalytic mechanism. Adduct formation between the mediator syringaldehyde and the pesticides dichlorophen or bromoxynil was also found after enzymatic oxidation. The main goal of this work is to evaluate environmental-friendly mediators for the pesticide transformation, and the potential of laccase-mediator system to efficiently reduce the environmental impact of organic halogenated pesticides is discussed.

Abstract
Niclosamide is an anti-helminthic drug susceptible to being metabolized into a bacterial mutagen by the action of enzymes present in the S9 activation mixture. Additional results from genotoxic studies in rodents and humans suggest that the drug is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and mutagenic metabolites are excreted both in the free form and as conjugated glucuronides. As in the case of other secondary amides, phase I metabolism of niclosamide may result in a hydrolytic cleavage of the amide bond, giving rise to 5-chlorosalicylic acid and 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline as the main metabolites. In this study, the mutagenicity of these compounds was tested using the Salmonella typhimurium assay. Bacterial mutagenicity tests with these 2 compounds reveal a non-mutagenic response with 5-chlorosalicylic acid and a mutagenic one with 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline. However, the mutagenic potency observed with this compound is lower than that of niclosamide. The role of nitroreduction in the activation of niclosamide and 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline was also investigated with the help of S. typhimurium strains TA98NR, YG1020, YG1021 and YG1024. The results show a pattern of response which is qualitatively similar for both compounds and this indicates that its mutagenicity depends on both nitroreduction and transacetylation.

Abstract
A 2-5-month treatment with niclosamide, a widely used drug in developing countries, has been reported to induce lymphosarcomas in toad liver and kidney. The genotoxic effects of this drug have also been evaluated in Salmonella typhimurium, in somatic and germinal cells of mice and in human lymphocytes exposed in vitro and in vivo. The present study shows that niclosamide is also capable of inducing mitotic crossing-over and non-disjunction in Aspergillus nidulans, which points to the wide potential of this drug as a genotoxic agent.

Abstract
Experiments on mice and rats were made to study a new medicinal form, fenasal granules given per os and to compare it with ground tablets and powder of fenasal as regards the intestinal content, absorption capacity, anthelminthic activity and toxicity. The intestinal content and absorption capacity of fenasal were medicinal form-dependent. The highest anthelminthic activity was exhibited by fenasal granules. Acute toxicity of powder, ground tablets and granules of fenasal administered to mice and rats per os remained the same.

Abstract
1. Residues of the lampricides 14C-Bayer 73 (2',5-dichloro-4'-nitrosalicylanilide) and 14C-TFM (3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol) were absorbed from aqueous sublethal concn. by aquatic larvae of the midge Chironomus tentans. 2. Toxicant residues were widely distributed during early hours of exposure, but later and during a 24-h post-exposure period, they became concentrated in the trunk and intestinal tract; the posterior movement of Bayer 73 was more rapid than that of TFM. 3. During 4-h tests, Malpighian tubules of the chironomid actively transported Bayer 73 and TFM in vitro, and on a per tubule basis, more TFM was transported than Bayer 73. 4. Potassium cyanide inhibited tubule transport; serotonin had no effect.

Abstract
1. Niclosamide and related nitro compounds were reduced to the corresponding amines by Moniezia expansa, Ascaris lumbricoides var suum and by enzymes prepared from these species and by mouse and sheep liver homogenates. The reduction of niclosamide by the helminths required as cofactors NADH2 and glutathione, but was inhibited 50% by 2 X 10(-7) M allopurinol. 2. Unlike benzanilide, niclosamide was not hydrolysed by either the helminths, or the mammalian liver preparations. Rates of hydrolysis of compounds related to niclosamide indicate that niclosamide was not hydrolysed because substituents in both benzene rings ortho to the amide bond sterically hinder the hydrolase. 3. Hydrolysis of benzanilide and related compounds was inhibited by anthelmintic organophosphates.
