Application

Penfluridol has been used as an antipsychotic agent:
  • to study its antimetastatic effect on triple-negative breast cancer cells
  • to study its effects on the growth of glioblastoma cell lines,
  • to study its effects on the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Penfluridol is studied in the treatment of schizophrenia, Tourette syndrome and acute psychosis. It also exhibits anticancer activity.
T-type Ca2+ channel blocker; antipsychotic

Anticancer chemotherapeutic drugs mainly trigger apoptosis induction to eliminate malignant cells. However, many cancer cells are chemoresistant because of defective apoptosis induction. Targeting the autophagic pathway is currently regarded as an alternative strategy for cancer drug discovery. Penfluridol, an antipsychotic
