Synergistic Potential Of Ivermectin And Doxorubicin In Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: An In Vitro Investigation, Dalia Ghalwash, Shereen Nader, Rana Tantawy

Dentistry

Background Doxorubicin (DOX) is widely used in cancer therapy, but its role in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC)is limited by resistance and dose-related toxicities. Ivermectin (IVM), an antiparasitic agent with emerging anticancer properties, may enhance DOX efficacy. This study evaluated the effects of IVM alone and in combination with DOX on OSCC cell lines.

Methods In vitro assays, including MTT viability, apoptosis (Annexin V/PI), cell cycle analysis, RT-qPCR of apoptotic, proliferative, and inflammatory markers, and oxidative stress assays, were performed on HN9 and HEp-2 OSCC cell lines, with OEC as control.

Results IVM reduced cancer cell viability in a dose-dependent …
