Antimycotic Ciclopirox Olamine in the Diabetic Environment Promotes Angiogenesis and Enhances Wound Healing
Diabetic wounds remain a major medical challenge with often disappointing outcomes despite the best available care. An impaired response to tissue hypoxia and insufficient angiogenesis are major factors responsible for poor healing in diabetic wounds. Here we show that the antimycotic drug ciclopirox olamine (CPX) can induce therapeutic angiogenesis in diabetic wounds. Treatment with CPX in vit...
متن کاملSuperior efficacy of the antifungal agent ciclopirox olamine over gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer models
Ciclopirox olamine (CPX) is an antifungal agent that has recently demonstrated promising anti-neoplastic activity against hematologic and solid tumors. Here, we evaluated CPX compared with gemcitabine alone as well as their combination in human pancreatic cancer cell lines; BxPC-3, Panc-1, and MIA PaCa-2 and in humanized xenograft mouse models. We also examined the preclinical pharmacodynamic a...
متن کاملAssessment of GSK1904529A as a promising anti-osteosarcoma agent
The insulin growth factor-I receptor (IGF1R) signaling is a key mechanism for osteosarcoma (OS) cell proliferation. GSK1904529A is a novel small molecule IGF1R kinase inhibitor. Its activity against OS cells was tested. In both established OS cell lines (Saos-2 and MG-63) and primary human OS cells, treatment with GSK1904529A (at nM concentrations) significantly inhibited cell proliferation. At...
متن کاملRepurposing celecoxib as a topical antimicrobial agent
There is an urgent need for new antibiotics and alternative strategies to combat multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens, which are a growing clinical issue. Repurposing existing approved drugs with known pharmacology and toxicology is an alternative strategy to accelerate antimicrobial research and development. In this study, we show that celecoxib, a marketed inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2, ex...
متن کاملTargeting the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway with the antifungal agent ciclopirox olamine in a murine myeloma model.
BACKGROUND Aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling promotes the development of several types of cancer. Recently, it has been demonstrated that Wnt pathway is also activated in myeloma. Therefore, the Wnt/β-catenin signaling molecules are attractive candidates for development of targeted therapies for this disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study investigated the antitumor effect of c...
