Great paper. I find the Introduction most illuminating...

Drug repurposing and repositioning [of Ivermectin] has been shown to control a completely new range of diseases (Ashour, 2019). For example:
• orbital myiasis, trichinosis, malaria, leishmaniasis, African trypanosomiasis, asthma, epilepsy, neurological disease, antiviral (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus [HIV], dengue, encephalitis; Yang et al., 2020)
• antibacterial (tuberculosis and Buruli ulcer; Csóka et al., 2018)
• anticancer (breast cancer, leukemia, glioblastoma, cervical cancer, gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, melanoma, and lung cancer; Crump, 2017).
Multifaceted ‘wonder’ ivermectin may become an even more exceptional drug in the future. An international patent ‘Use of ivermectin and derivatives thereof’ caught people's increasing attention to ivermectin those years. Ivermectin would be developed to use for metabolic‐related diseases (diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, insulin resistance, obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, and hyperglycemia), Famesoid X receptor‐mediated diseases (atherosclerosis, nonalcohol fatty liver disease, cholestasia, and gallstones), inflammation, and cancer (Crump, 2017).

It is truly astonishing that one drug, derived from nature, could possibly fight all of those diseases.

But NEVER FORGET, it's a Horse Dewormer, nothing more, and a Horse Dewormer it shall remain forever and ever.
