[Researches on mechanism of cell toxicity caused by niclosamide].

ABSTRACT

Niclosamide is the most commonly used molluscicide. Along with a lot of application of niclosamide, more and more scientists studied its toxic effects to aquatic organisms as well as the related cell toxicity mechanism. This paper summarizes the toxicity on cell, organelle, enzyme, cell signaling pathway, and genetic material caused by niclosamide, and puts forward the future research direction.
