FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention related to a new indication of Paroxetine pharmaceutical composition, especially related to inhibition effect of Paroxetine pharmaceutical composition on a variety of cancer cells.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONCancer is the most popular disease cause of death in the world. The cancer patients are gradually increase yearly, therefore the treatment method of the cancer has become an important issue. The medical treatments of cancer can be classified as surgical treatment, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and target therapy. Generally, the cancer drug, whether chemotherapy drug or target therapy drug, is to inhibit cancer cells duplication and split to prevent the tumor growth and metastasis.
Recently, the drug design for cancer is mainly focused on development of high-specific drug molecules or target-based antibody. Averagely, only about five of 10,000 new drugs can successfully enter the phase I of clinical trials.
Otherwise, the manufacturing of the drug is also a big problem. When the drug starting the clinical trials, there are lots of problems need to overcome, such as drug safety, patient selection, trial dose and other issues. Even the drug has approved by the FDA and sales on the market, there still possibly face the situation of the poor drug response in patients. Furthermore, if the cancer patients happen the drug resistance, that would reduce the effectiveness of the drugs and result in the medical treatment failure. Therefore, the new drug development is very difficult.
Paroxetine, also known by the trade names Paxil and Seroxat, is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. It is used to treat major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Paroxetine is approved by FDA and accumulated a huge data of drug use and drug mechanism research.
Due to the differences of the clinical use, there is no research present that the paroxetine has any potential to inhibit cancer cell.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn order to solve the above problems, the present invention provide the development of new cancer clinical indications of Paroxetine.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a new indication of Paroxetine. The experimental results showed that the Paroxetine had no toxicity or had little toxicity to normal cells in the present invention.
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition of Paroxetine for treating cancer. The pharmaceutical composition is composed of effective dose of Paroxetine and a pharmaceutical acceptable salt.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the cancer is selected from pleural-related cancer, abdominal-related cancer, endocrine-related cancer, gastrointestinal tract-related cancer.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the cancer is selected from osteosarcoma, skin cancer and blood cancer.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the pleural-related cancer is lung cancer.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the abdominal-related cancer is selected from bladder cancer, cervical cancer and kidney cancer.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the endocrine-related cancer is selected from prostate cancer, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the gastrointestinal tract-related cancer is selected from gastric cancer, hepatic cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and tongue cancer.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the effective dose of Paroxetine is from 20 mg/kg/day to 500 mg/kg/day.
Cell Culture
Subculture the different types of cancer cells. The cancer cells includes lung cancer, gastric cancer, hepatic cancer, colon cancer, skin cancer, cervical cancer, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, breast cancer, leukemia, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, tongue cancer, osteosarcoma, and renal cancer. The normal cells used in the control group included kidney cells (HEK293), canine fibroblast cell line HFW, and human bronchial epithelial cell line BEAS-2B. (as shown in Table 1).
Cancer cell lines were cultured in different culture medium according to different characteristics (as shown in Table 1). The cell numbers were counted and reseed as 2×106 in culture plate/flask. Then, the culture medium were added to a volume of 10 ml, and the cells were cultured for 2-3 days. Then, the cells were suspended for loading into 96-well plates. The number of cells was 3000 and the volume of the culture medium was 100 μl each well.
Cell Viability Analysis
Removing the original culture medium from 96-well plate. Then add 100 μl of commercially drug at a concentration of 10 μM per well. After 72 hours, add the diluted WST-1 reagent to the well with 100 μl/well, and the diluted WST-1 reagent was acquired from the dilution of 9:1 medium and WST-1 stock reagent. Finally, the total volume of each well was 200 μl/well. Culture the 96-well plate at 37° C. for 30 to 90 minutes. Detecting and calculate the survival rate of each cancer cells with an ELISA reader at OD450 nm. The lower viability of cancer cells represents better inhibition effect via the Paroxetine drug. Otherwise, the higher viability of cancer cells represents worse inhibition effect via the Paroxetine drug.

Animal Model Test of Gastric Cancer with Dose 100 mg/kg/day and 200 mg/kg/day
In this invention, the female mice were (BALB/cAnN.Cg-Foxn1nu/CrlNarl) purchased from National Laboratory Animal Center (Taiwan). The weight of the mice were 21±1 g. These mice were subcutaneously injected with gastric cancer cells (AGS) and then put these mice into different cage sat random. The drug test experiment was divided into three groups, include “control group”, “low dose group (100 mg/kg/day)”, and “high dose group (200 mg/kg/day)”. These mice were then injected test drug intraperitoneally once daily until the tumor size reached 100 mm3. The tumor sizes and body weight were measured twice a week. The tumor sizes were measured and calculated by formula: (L×W2)/2. L represents the tumor longest length. W represents the tumor shortest diameter. The experiment results were shown in Table 19.
