Low-Density Lipoprotein Pathway Is a Ubiquitous Metabolic Vulnerability in High Grade Glioma Amenable for Nanotherapeutic Delivery (2023)
Journal Article

Metabolic reprogramming, through increased uptake of cholesterol in the form of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), is one way by which cancer cells, including high grade gliomas (HGG), maintain their rapid growth. In this study, we determined LDL recept... Read More about Low-Density Lipoprotein Pathway Is a Ubiquitous Metabolic Vulnerability in High Grade Glioma Amenable for Nanotherapeutic Delivery.

The pH Dependence of Niclosamide Solubility, Dissolution, and Morphology: Motivation for Potentially Universal Mucin-Penetrating Nasal and Throat Sprays for COVID19, its Variants and other Viral Infections (2021)
Journal Article

Motivation: With the coronavirus pandemic still raging, prophylactic-nasal and early-treatment throat-sprays could help prevent infection and reduce viral load. Niclosamide has the potential to treat a broad-range of viral infections if local bioavai...

Preclinical Testing of a Novel Niclosamide Stearate Prodrug Therapeutic (NSPT) shows efficacy against Osteosarcoma (2020)
Journal Article

Therapeutic advances for osteosarcoma (OS) have stagnated over the past several decades, leading to an unmet clinical need for patients. The purpose of this study was to develop a novel therapy for OS by reformulating and validating niclosamide, an e...
