Hydroxychloroquine and the Power of Repurposed Medications in Cancer Immunotherapy
- Metformin: Known for treating type 2 diabetes, Metformin activates AMPK to improve T-cell function and reduce tumor-induced immunosuppression.
* Reference: Eikawa S, et al. 2015.
- Aspirin: Targets COX-2 to decrease prostaglandin E2 levels, reducing tumor-associated inflammation and boosting the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors.
* Reference: Zelenay S, et al. 2015.
- Statins (e.g., Simvastatin): These cholesterol-lowering drugs enhance T-cell activation and proliferation, potentially synergizing with immune checkpoint inhibitors by modifying the immune microenvironment.
* Reference: Grabowska J, et al. 2020.
- Hydroxychloroquine: This anti-malarial drug inhibits autophagy in cancer cells, enhancing antigen presentation and reducing immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment.
* Reference: Piao S, Amaravadi RK. 2016.
- Propranolol: A beta-blocker that reduces stress-induced immunosuppression and enhances T-cell and NK cell activation.
* Reference: Montoya A, et al. 2019.
- Thalidomide: Boosts T-cell and NK cell functions while inhibiting angiogenesis, playing a crucial role in reducing tumor growth and improving immune responses.
* Reference: Bartlett JB, et al. 2004.
- Celecoxib: A COX-2 inhibitor that reduces PGE2 levels, decreasing tumor-associated inflammation and enhancing the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors.
* Reference: Zhu J, et al. 2021.
