Repositioning serotonergic antagonists as therapeutic agents in gastric cancer: induction of apoptosis, inhibition of cell migration, and cell cycle arrest in AGS cells. (PubMed, Cytotechnology)
Imipramine induced G1/S phase arrest, whereas tropisetron, ketanserin, and cyproheptadine increased the sub-G1 cell population. Gene expression analysis revealed decreased Bcl-2 and PCNA levels and increased Bax expression.These findings suggest the potential of tropisetron, imipramine, ketanserin, and cyproheptadine as repurposed therapeutic agents for gastric cancer.

Characterization and Prognostic Impact of Fascin Expression in the Tumor Microenvironment of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Clues for a Tailored Therapy. (PubMed, Lab Invest)
These findings highlight the dual role of fascin in tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME), and reinforce its potential as a biomarker for personalized TNBC therapies. Ongoing clinical trials, including HITCLIF, are exploring the efficacy of imipramine in patients with fascin-overexpressing cancers, paving the way for targeted treatment strategies.

Sorafenib generates microvesicle particles in non-small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, Tumor Discov)
Moreover, co-treatment with imipramine enhanced the cytotoxic effects of sorafenib, suggesting that targeting MVP-associated pathways may improve sorafenib response. Collectively, these findings offer mechanistic insight into how sorafenib modulates MVP release and supports the therapeutic potential of combining tyrosine kinase inhibitors with agents that disrupt MVP biogenesis in NSCLC.
