Therapy Name | Hydroxychloroquine + Sirolimus |
Synonyms | |
Therapy Description |
A combination of the mTOR inhibitor Sirolimus and the antimalarial Hydroxychloroquine as antineoplastic therapy. Hydorxychloroquine may enhance the effectiveness of targeted therapy by disrupting autophagy-mediated cell survival (PMID: 21959046). |
Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Hydroxychloroquine | Plaquenil | HCQ | Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine sulfate) increases intralysosomal pH, resulting in inhibition of autophagic protein degradation and accumulation of autophagosomes, which potentially leads to cell death in autophagy-dependent tumor cells (NCI Drug Dictionary). | |
Sirolimus | Rapamune | Rapamycin | mTORC1 Inhibitor 9 | Rapamune (sirolimus) binds to the FKBP-12 to generate an immunosuppressive complex that binds and allosterically inhibits mTOR (PMID: 25261369). Rapamune (sirolimus) is FDA approved for the prevention of renal transplant rejection and for patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (FDA.gov). |
