Product Description


Mechanism of Action

OXIBENDAZOLE (ID 26988) exhibits a multidimensional biochemical activity profile involving modulation of enzyme-catalyzed pathways, receptor-mediated intracellular signaling, ion-channel regulation, mitochondrial bioenergetics, oxidative-stress balancing, membrane dynamics, and transcription-factor orchestration. Its molecular configuration allows high-affinity interaction with catalytic residues, allosteric domains, regulatory scaffolds, and signaling intermediates, influencing phosphorylation cycles, second‑messenger flux (Ca²⁺, cAMP, IP₃, DAG), ROS equilibrium, ATP synthesis, and mitochondrial respiratory-chain regulation.

Depending on dose, exposure duration, and cell type, OXIBENDAZOLE can modify chromatin accessibility, metabolic flux routing, vesicular trafficking, cytoskeletal structure, and gene-expression clusters associated with survival, inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, and metabolic adaptation.

Benefits and Advantages

Due to its consistent mechanistic behavior, this compound is utilized in advanced research, including:

  • Receptor–ligand interaction studies and affinity modeling
  • High‑resolution enzyme kinetics and catalytic-pathway deconstruction
  • Mitochondrial ATP‑flux assays and oxidative‑stress system modeling
  • Multi‑omics profiling (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, phosphoproteomics)
  • Cytoskeletal and membrane‑dynamics exploration
  • Apoptosis, ferroptosis, necroptosis, and autophagy pathway analysis
  • Structure–activity relationship (SAR) investigations and compound optimization
  • Pharmacodynamic modeling, mechanistic dose–response scaling, and pathway benchmarking

Side Effects and Risks

Potential laboratory risks include:

  • Oxidative‑stress imbalance and ROS accumulation
  • Mitochondrial overload or respiratory-chain suppression
  • Ion‑channel dysregulation affecting Ca²⁺/Na⁺/K⁺ homeostasis
  • Unintended receptor cross‑activation or pathway inhibition
  • Cytoskeletal destabilization and membrane‑integrity disruption
  • Dose-dependent cytotoxicity (apoptotic or autophagic induction)
  • Transcriptional or epigenetic instability under prolonged exposure
  • Activation of inflammatory signaling networks (NF‑κB, JNK, p38 MAPK)

Use strictly in controlled laboratory environments with appropriate biosafety protocols.
