Antipsychotic Drug Fluphenazine against Human Cancer Cells.

ABSTRACT: Drug repurposing is a strategy that can speed up and find novel clinical uses for already-approved drugs for several diseases, such as cancer. This process is accelerated compared to the development of new drugs because these compounds have already been tested in clinical trials and data related to their pharmacokinetics is already described, reducing the costs and time associated with the development of new anticancer therapeutics. Several studies suggest that the repurposing of fluphenazine for cancer therapy may be a promising approach, as this drug proved to reduce the viability of diverse cancer cell lines. In this review, intensive research of the literature was performed related to the anticancer potential of fluphenazine in different human cancer cells. We have found several resear
