DRUG

niclosamide

Tapeworm infections (FDA 1982); broad repurposing pipeline

29 hypotheses across 8 therapeutic domains

CROSS-DOMAIN PATTERN

Same drug, multiple disease domains

niclosamide appears in hypotheses across 8 disease domains: ALS, Alzheimer, Epilepsy, Glioblastoma, Inflammatory bowel disease, Pancreatic cancer, Rheumatoid arthritis, Type 2 diabetes. Shared mediators that recur across at least two of those domains: STAT3, mTOR, S100A4, PD-L1.

Aggregated from the catalog. Biological interpretation of any multi-indication mechanism would require independent validation — this is a structural observation only.
