Abstract Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common urological condition in aging men. The anthelmintic agent niclosamide ethanolamide exhibits wide range of pharmacological activities. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effect testosterone propionate-induced benign rats along with elucidating probable mechanism action by investigating influence on PPAR-γ and Wnt/β-catenin. 40 male Wistar were divided randomly into 4 groups. healthy (control) group, received daily oral subcutaneous administration vehicle. Induced (TP) only dose propionate 3 mg/kg, SC for 28 days. treated groups (TP+FIN) (TP+NE), concomitant finasteride 5 mg/kg/day 50 respectively through gavage. Animals euthanized day 30 experiment prostate tissue samples collected index, hyperplastic markers ELISA, gene expression RT-qPCR. Results revealed that significantly reduced index compared induced group (P<0.0001). nearly normalized BPH including 5α-reductase type-2 enzyme, dihydrotestosterone, PCNA level β-catenin while elevating control levels (P<0.05). current NE can help prevent upregulating receptor inhibiting Wnt pathway.

This review explores current advancements and challenges in antifungal therapies amid rising fungal infections, particularly immunocompromised patients. We detail the limitations of existing classes—azoles, echinocandins, polyenes, flucytosine—in managing systemic infections urgent need for alternative solutions. With increasing incidence resistance pathogens, such as Candida auris Aspergillus fumigatus, we assess emerging agents, including Ibrexafungerp, T-2307, N′-Phenylhydrazides, which target diverse cell mechanisms. Innovations, nanoparticles, drug repurposing, natural products, are also evaluated their potential to improve efficacy reduce resistance. emphasize importance novel approaches address growing threat posed by patients with limited treatment options. Finally, briefly examine use artificial intelligence (AI) development new treatments, diagnoses, prediction, provides powerful tools fight against pathogens. Overall, highlight pressing continued research advance treatments outcomes high-risk populations.
