Biochem/physiol Actions
Bithionol was originally used as an anthelmintic. Bithionol has more recently been investigated for potential use as an anti-ovarian cancer drug and as a possible treatment for Alzheimer′s disease. Bithionol inhibited Aβ42 seeding capacity and fibril growth, stabilized diffuse amyloid plaques, reduced the levels of Aβ42 oligomers and ameliorated synapse loss, neuronal damage and astrogliosis in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer′s disease. Bithionol appears to act through several mechanisms of action including uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation, ROS generation, NF-κB inhibition, autotaxin inhibition, and as an activator of Slack sodium-activated potassium (KNa) channels.

Drug resistance is a cause of ovarian cancer recurrence and low overall survival rates. There is a need for more effective treatment approaches because the development of new drug is expensive and time consuming. Alternatively, the concept of 'drug repurposing'

Aβ accumulation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recent studies suggest that the process of Aβ nucleated polymerization is essential for Aβ fibril formation, pathology spreading and toxicity. Therefore, targeting this process represents an effective
