JAK/STAT

Scientific explanation

receptors signal through JAKs to STATs. in particular supports survival, invasion and inflammatory gene programmes in many solid and hematologic tumours.

Cancers where relevant

Compounds that intersect this pathway

Niclosamide

uncoupler in cestodes; mammalian models report , Wnt/β-catenin and modulation. Those host-signalling findings are investigational/preclinical.

Evidence in mapped cancers: In Vitro · In Vivo · Mechanistically Plausible

Ivermectin

Glutamate-gated chloride channel in invertebrates. Reported mammalian effects on nuclear transport and signalling pathways come from experimental systems and do not constitute proven anticancer therapy.

Nitazoxanide

Antiparasitic interfering with PFOR in anaerobes. Broader in-vitro reports include metabolic and -related readouts; these are not clinical oncology indications.

Curcumin

Polyphenol with promiscuous in-vitro NF-κB, and ROS effects. Bioavailability is poor; dish activity does not establish clinical anticancer efficacy.

Other pathways that co-occur with JAK/STAT on mapped adjunct records: NF-κB, Wnt/β-catenin, mTOR.
