Anti-Parasitic Drugs in Cancer Therapy: Analyzing drugs like ivermectin, fenbendazole and mebendazole for their potential to disrupt cancer cell signaling or enhance chemotherapy

By Editorial Team

Anti-parasitic drugs such as ivermectin, fenbendazole, and mebendazole have shown promising potential in cancer therapy by disrupting cancer cell signaling and enhancing chemotherapy efficacy through multiple mechanisms. Fenbendazole Fenbendazole, a benzimidazole anthelmintic, exhibits several anti-cancer effects: Microtubule disruption:  Fenbendazole acts as a moderate microtubule destabilizing agent, impairing microtubule polymerization which is critical for cancer cell division 4 6 . Metabolic interference:  It inhibits glucose uptake by downregulating GLUT1 transporters and hexokinase II (HKII), key components of glycolysis, thereby starving cancer cells of energy and reversing drug resistance 1 4 6 . Activation of p53 pathway:  Fenbendazole induces mitochondrial translocation of p53, promoting apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase 1 2 4 . Induction of multiple cell death pathways:  It triggers apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy, and ferroptosis, includin...
