Atorvastatin Enhances Doxorubicin Efficacy in Breast Cancer Through Convergent Disruption of Drug Efflux, Heat-Shock Response, and DNA Hypermethylation. (PubMed, Curr Pharm Des)
Given its established clinical safety, atorvastatin represents a practical candidate for repurposing to improve anthracycline-based breast cancer therapy.

A peripheral blood-based approach involving vimentin along with AURKA enabled efficient tracking of elusive Oct4/Sox2-expressing disseminated breast cancer stem cells. (PubMed, Biosci Rep)
Preliminary in vitro intervention using combinatorial targeting of AURKA and vimentin reduced stemness propensities. Based on these interesting observations, further in-depth studies are warranted for clinical validation.

Repurposing atorvastatin for uterine leiomyosarcoma: mevalonate pathway inhibition yields preclinical antitumor efficacy. (PubMed, Acta Pharmacol Sin)
In xenografts, atorvastatin suppressed ULMS tumor growth by ~50% with minimal toxicity, as evidenced by normal serum ALT and creatinine levels and preserved organ histology. These findings identify protein geranylgeranylation as a novel therapeutic vulnerability in ULMS and support statin repurposing as a promising treatment strategy.

Atorvastatin and almonertinib-induced myopathy in a polypharmacy context: a case report. (PubMed, Front Cardiovasc Med)
He had been taking almonertinib for 26 months, hybutimibe for 3 months and alirocumab for 1 month prior to admission. Almonertinib is a moderately sensitive substrate of CYP3A4, thereby may elevate statin concentration and increase the likelihood of developing myopathy. For patients who need to take almonertinib and cholesterol-lowering drugs simultaneously, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors and cholesterol absorption inhibitors (such as ezetimibe and hybutimibe) can be considered instead of atorvastatin for the reduction of cardiovascular events.
