... We previously predicted many novel protein kinase targets for mebendazole [17]. Kinase inhibition is a sought after therapeutic strategy for rheumatoid arthritis, especially as non-biologic treatment alternatives and for methotrexate-resistant cases [65][66][67]. Inhibitors of spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) and Janus kinases (Jaks) have shown short-term efficacy, but other kinases inhibitors with good long-term effect profiles may also exist. Other kinases implicated in RA pathogenesis include aurora kinases [68] and cyclindependent kinases (CDKs) [69]. ...
