Most studies analyzing data from patients who experienced at least one episode of acute COVID-19 infection have attributed the cascade immediate and late complications to disruption inflammatory system neutrophil activity in particular. Among various functions neutrophils is release pro-inflammatory mediators, including interleukin-6 (IL-6). Oxidative stress induced by mediators secreted leads vascular endothelial dysfunction. Neutrophil counts neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are...

Mebendazole and flubendazole are antihelmintic drugs that have re-entered the research spotlight due to their exhibited anticancer effects, thus making them strong candidates as repurposed drugs. However, these benzimidazole derivatives exhibit poor solubility in water various organic solvents, which limits bioavailability. With aim of obtaining an improved drug increased biological effect, mebendazole were complexed with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPBCD). The binary 1:1 conjugates...
