Compositions and methods for the treatment of toxoplasmosis, caused by the infectious eukaryotic parasite Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) and for the treatment of cryptosporidiosis, caused by the infectious eukaryotic parasites Cryptosporidium parvum (C. parvum) and Cryptosporidium hominus (C. hominus) are described. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to compositions and methods for inhibiting either T. gondii calcium dependent protein kinases (TgCDPKs) or C. parvum and C. hominus calcium dependent protein kinases (CpCDPKs) using pyrazolopyrimidine and/or imidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine inhibitors, of the formula, ##STR00001##
wherein the variables X, Y, Z, L, R.sup.1, and R.sup.3 are defined herein.

Prodrugs of mebendazole and methods for their use in treating a disease, disorder, or disorder, including cancer, are disclosed.

Prodrugs of mebendazole and methods for their use in treating a disease, disorder, or disorder, including cancer, are disclosed.

The invention relates to benzimidazole derivatives of the general formula I,

##STR00001##

and the use of the compounds of the present invention for the treatment and/or prevention of hyperproliferative or infectious diseases and disorders in mammals, especially humans, and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compound.

The present invention relates to a thiobenzimidazole derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a composition for preventing or treating cancer, comprising the derivative as an active ingredient. The thiobenzimidazole derivative of the present invention exhibits cell toxicity by blocking the cell cycle of a cancer cell and inducing apoptosis when administered to an individual, as the derivative inhibits tubulin polymerization by being activated in the cancer cell, and, thus, the derivative can be used for prevention or treatment of cancer, desirably for prevention or treatment of triple-negative breast cancer.
