摘要
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients have a high risk of brain metastases. This deadly disease represents a major challenge for successful treatment, in part because of the poor ability of drugs to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. Antipsychotic drugs show good bioavailability in the brain, and some of them have exhibited anticancer effects in several cancer types. In this study, we investigated the potential of repurposing fluphenazine hydrochloride (Flu) for the treatment of TNBC and the brain metastases. Our data showed that Flu inhibited survival of metastatic TNBC cells. It induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and promoted mitochondria-mediated intrinsic apoptosis in vitro. Pharmacokinetic studies in BALB/c mice showed a brain/plasma drug concentration ratio of Flu above 25 for at least 24 hours after dosing. Flu moderately suppressed tumor growth in a TNBC subcutaneous xenograft mouse model. Importantly, Flu exhibited good anti metastatic potential in a mouse brain metastasis model with an inhibition rate of 85%. In addition, Flu showed a strong inhibitory effect on spontaneous lung metastasis. Moreover, Flu didn't cause serious side effects in the mice. Taken together, this study prompts further preclinical and clinical investigation into repurposing Flu for treating metastatic TNBC patients, which urgently need new treatment options.
