Which molecular pathways (PAK1, Akt/mTOR, Wnt/β‑catenin) are most implicated in ivermectin’s anticancer activity and how do they vary by tumor type?

Preclinical evidence places and its downstream Akt/mTOR axis as the single most consistently implicated route for —especially in where ivermectin promotes ubiquitin-mediated degradation of PAK1, reduc...

How does ivermectin modulation of PAK1 compare to dedicated PAK1 inhibitors in preclinical cancer models?

both reduce PAK1-driven signaling in preclinical cancer models, but they do so by different molecular routes and with different translational implications: ivermectin promotes proteasome-mediated degr...

What are the reported toxicities and pharmacokinetic barriers to achieving anticancer concentrations of ivermectin in humans?

shows repeated anticancer activity in cell culture and some animal models, but translating those effects to humans faces clear and : the concentrations that kill tumor cells in vitro are often in the ...

What preclinical mechanisms (Wnt/β‑catenin, Akt/mTOR, immune infiltration) link ivermectin to anticancer effects and which cancers show the strongest lab signals?

Preclinical research ties ’s anticancer activity to at least three interlocking mechanisms: suppression of Wnt/β‑catenin signaling, inhibition of the PAK1/Akt/mTOR axis with induction of autophagy/apo...

How do preclinical ivermectin dosing levels in mice compare with human pharmacokinetic tolerability in oncology studies?

Preclinical mouse studies of ivermectin report effective antitumor activity across a wide dose range—commonly 0.5–10 mg/kg and in some reviews up to 40 mg/kg—with many experiments using ~3–10 mg/kg to...
