Fascioliasis, a common parasitic infection observed in the pediatric patient population, is a leading cause of concern in countries with poor/unhealthy water resources. To treat this condition first line agent such as triclabendazole (TBZ) has been the choice therapy. However, there is a major hurdle in exploiting TBZ.

One approach to combat the increasing incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens involves repurposing existing compounds with known safety and development pathways as new antibacterial classes with potentially novel mechanisms of action. Here, triclabendazole (TCBZ), a drug originally developed to treat (liver fluke) in sheep and cattle, and later in humans, was evaluated as an antibacterial alone or in combination with sub-inhibitory concentrations of polymyxin B (PMB) against clinical isolates and reference strains of key Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. We show for the first time that in vitro, TCBZ selectively kills methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant and at a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) range of 2-4 µg/mL, and vancomycin-resistant enterococci at a MIC range of 4-8 µg/mL.

Triclabendazole belongs to the class II/IV of the Biopharmaceuticals Classification System, and its low aqueous solubility represents a major drawback during the development of effective dosage forms. Therefore, the goal of this study was to elucidate whether polymeric solid dispersions would represent a suitable approach to overcome such disadvantage. Due to the lack of information on triclabendazole release, four different dissolution media were evaluated to analyze drug dissolution rate.

The aim of the current work was to evaluate a potential pharmacokinetic interaction between the flukicide triclabendazole (TCBZ) and the broad-spectrum benzimidazole (BZD) anthelmintic oxfendazole (OFZ) in sheep. To this end, both an in vitro assay in microsomal fractions and an in vivo trial in lambs parasitized with Haemonchus contortus resistant to OFZ and its reduced derivative fenbendazole (FBZ) were carried out. Sheep microsomal fractions were incubated together with OFZ, FBZ, TCBZ, or a combination of either FBZ and TCBZ or OFZ and TCBZ.

A reliable LC-MS/MS analytical method for the determination of residual triclabendazole and its principal metabolites (triclabendazole sulfoxide, triclabendazole sulfone and keto-triclabendazole) in bovine tissues was developed, in which triclabendazole and its metabolites are oxidized to keto-triclabendazole as a marker residue. The method involves sample digestion with hot sodium hydroxide, thus releasing the bound residues of various triclabendazole metabolites in bovine tissues. The target compounds are extracted from the digest mixture with ethyl acetate, defatted by liquid-liquid partitioning using n-hexane and acetonitrile, then oxidized with hydrogen peroxide in a mixture of ethanol and acetic acid.
