Published research on Ivermectin

5 peer-reviewed publications on Ivermectin in oncology research, clinical work first, then laboratory studies. Each entry reports what the authors stated; follow the link for the full paper.

This page is a reading list of peer-reviewed publications, compiled for information. It is not a statement of indications, a recommendation or medical advice. Results from cell and animal studies do not translate into clinical use. Medsuvac products are supplied for their registered purposes; clinical decisions belong to a qualified physician.
  1. Review

    Ivermectin, a potential anticancer drug derived from an antiparasitic drug

    Tang M et al., Pharmacological Research, 2021

    The authors reviewed reported mechanisms by which ivermectin inhibited proliferation and promoted programmed cell death in various cancer cells and discussed prospects for its clinical application in oncology.

  2. Review

    The multitargeted drug ivermectin: from an antiparasitic agent to a repositioned cancer drug

    Juarez M et al., American Journal of Cancer Research, 2018

    The authors summarised in vitro and in vivo evidence that ivermectin exerted antitumour effects in several cancer types via multiple targets, at concentrations they considered clinically reachable based on human pharmacokinetic data.

  3. In vivo

    Ivermectin Induces Cytostatic Autophagy by Blocking the PAK1/Akt Axis in Breast Cancer

    Dou Q et al., Cancer Research, 2016

    Ivermectin induced cytostatic autophagy in breast cancer cells through degradation of PAK1 and blockade of Akt/mTOR signalling, and suppressed tumour growth in breast cancer xenografts.

  4. In vivo

    Anthelmintic drug ivermectin inhibits angiogenesis, growth and survival of glioblastoma through inducing mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress

    Liu Y et al., Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2016

    Ivermectin inhibited growth and induced caspase-dependent apoptosis in U87 and T98G glioblastoma cells, suppressed growth of two glioblastoma xenograft models, and inhibited angiogenesis via mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress.

  5. In vivo

    The antiparasitic agent ivermectin induces chloride-dependent membrane hyperpolarization and cell death in leukemia cells

    Sharmeen S et al., Blood, 2010

    Ivermectin induced cell death at low micromolar concentrations in acute myeloid leukemia cell lines and primary patient samples preferentially over normal hematopoietic cells, and delayed tumour growth in three mouse models of leukemia.
