SAR study of niclosamide derivatives in the human glioblastoma U-87 MG cells. (PubMed, Med Chem Res)
These modified compounds can be tested to determine which are most effective on cancer treatment. These findings are important in the development of multi-functionalized niclosamide and drug design therapy in the future.

Targeting NDUFS4 Disrupts Oxidative Phosphorylation and Induces Ferroptosis in Olaparib-Resistant Prostate Cancer. (PubMed, Mol Cancer Ther)
Pharmacologic targeting of NDUFS4 using the niclosamide analog ARVib-7 phenocopied genetic depletion, suppressing mitochondrial respiration and enhancing olaparib efficacy to inhibit the growth of resistant spheroids. These findings identify NDUFS4 as a key mediator of PARPi resistance and a therapeutic vulnerability in advanced prostate cancer. Targeting NDUFS4 disrupts OxPhos and induces ferroptosis, providing a strong rationale for combination strategies with PARPis to overcome drug resistance.

A Novel Niclosamide Sulfate Prodrug with Enhanced Bioavailability Suppresses Hepatocellular Carcinoma via Inhibition of Multiple Signaling Pathways. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
It also induced significantly greater cytotoxicity than sorafenib ( p<0.05 ) in the PDO. Mechanistically, SSL-0024 suppressed major oncogenic pathways including AKT-mTOR-STAT3, RAF, and Wnt/β-catenin. SSL-0024 overcomes key pharmacokinetic limitations of niclosamide while maintaining potent anti-tumor activity, supporting its further development as an orally bioavailable therapeutic candidate for HCC.

Identifying the therapeutic potential of niclosamide in overcoming IFN-gamma dependent cancer immune evasion in the tumor microenvironment. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
These findings identify Niclosamide as a potent dual STAT1/STAT3 inhibitor capable of reversing IFN-γ- and hypoxia-driven immune evasion. Repurposing Niclosamide may represent a promising strategy to enhance the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade in solid tumors.

Mitochondrial uncoupling inhibits serine catabolism via FTO activation in metastatic breast cancer. (PubMed, Cancer Biol Med)
The findings herein demonstrated that mitochondrial uncouplers inhibit MSCP through FTO-dependent m6A demethylation. This work identified mitochondrial uncoupling as a novel and promising therapeutic approach for promoting m6A demethylation and targeting MSCP in metastatic breast cancer.

Canonical and noncanonical NF-κB signaling in uveal melanoma: mechanisms, microenvironment, and therapeutic modulation. (PubMed, Med Hypothesis Discov Innov Ophthalmol)
Canonical NF-κB signaling is mechanistically related to UM cell survival, proliferation, and migration, as shown by pharmacologic inhibition like BAY11-7082, and niclosamide and genetic modulation like microRNA-9. NF-κB signaling, particularly the canonical branch, is required for UM malignancy, while noncanonical signaling is linked with high-risk features. Branch-specific genetic manipulations and clinically relevant models should be employed in future research to maximize therapeutic strategies.
