High-Throughput Phenotypic Assay to Screen for Anthelmintic Activity on Haemonchus contortus

Aya C. Taki et al.

Summary: Parasitic worms cause significant diseases in animals and humans globally, highlighting the importance of controlling them for health and productivity. A high throughput screening assay was established to identify potential inhibitors against specific larvae, potentially leading to the discovery of more effective anthelmintic drugs. This advancement in screening methods could play a key role in developing better treatments for parasitic nematodes to combat drug resistance.

Specific and selective induction of miR-124 in immune cells by the quinoline ABX464: a transformative therapy for inflammatory diseases

Jamal Tazi et al.

Summary: Inflammatory diseases are believed to result from dysregulated inflammatory responses to environmental factors on susceptible genetic backgrounds. MiRNAs, such as miR-124, are endogenous, small noncoding RNAs that play a role in regulating gene expression involved in inflammation. ABX464, a small quinoline compound, has shown promising efficacy in ulcerative colitis by upregulating miR-124 and restoring physiological pathways lost in inflammatory diseases.

Three Small Molecule Entities (MPK18, MPK334 and YAK308) with Activity against Haemonchus contortus In Vitro

Aya C. Taki et al.

Summary: Due to widespread multi-drug resistance in parasitic nematodes of livestock animals, there is an urgent need to discover new anthelmintics with distinct mechanisms of action. Screening of 245 chemically-diverse small molecules revealed three compounds (MPK18, MPK334, and YAK308) that showed nematocidal activity against Haemonchus contortus, inhibiting larval motility and development without toxicity to human liver cells. Further evaluation and optimization of these compounds may lead to novel anthelmintic candidates.

Summary: The second World Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) Day was celebrated on January 30, 2021. The World Health Organization (WHO) launched its roadmap for NTDs from 2021 to 2030 to increase prevention and control of these neglected diseases. A global overview is presented on past achievements, current challenges, and future prospects for the WHO NTDs roadmap 2021-2030.

Practical High-Throughput Method to Screen Compounds for Anthelmintic Activity against Caenorhabditis elegans

Aya C. Taki et al.

Summary: In this study, a high throughput screening assay relying on infrared light-interference to measure the motility of Caenorhabditis elegans was established. Small molecules from a library were screened, resulting in the identification of compounds that inhibit nematode motility. Future work will evaluate the potential of these hits for development as new anthelmintic candidates.

Prospects of Using High-Throughput Proteomics to Underpin the Discovery of Animal Host-Nematode Interactions

Tao Wang et al.

Summary: The article reviews current mass spectrometry-based proteomic methods, focusing on a high-throughput 'bottom-up' approach; summarizes recent progress in the proteomics of parasitic nematodes, with an emphasis on molecules involved in host-parasite interactions; and discusses future research directions to enhance knowledge and understanding of the interplay between nematodes and host animals for the development of new and improved methods for treating, diagnosing, and controlling nematode diseases.
