Chlorpromazine inhibits EAG1 channels by altering the interdomain coupling. (PubMed, Biophys J)
This further suggests that if chlorpromazine binding alters coupling between the PAS/CNBH domain ring, VSD and pore, as predicted by the network analysis, these alterations occur at potential more depolarized than the ones eliciting the Cole-Moore shift. Taken together, our study provides an insight into the allosteric pathways of EAG1 channel regulation by small molecule PAS domain binders.

Chlorpromazine activates cGAS-STING signaling and reprograms the immune response in glioblastoma. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
We demonstrate that CPZ, alone or in combination with temozolomide (TMZ), the current standard of care, activates the cGAS-STING signaling pathway, thus promoting anti-tumor immune responses. This study uncovers that CPZ exerts a previously unrecognized anti-cancer immunomodulatory activity, remodeling the immune microenvironment and enhancing the anti-tumor immune response. By overcoming TMZ resistance, CPZ not only exerts a direct anti-neoplastic effect, but also sensitizes GBM cells to standard therapy.

Repurposing risperidone as an anti-angiogenic agent for triple-negative breast cancer: a computational to in ovo investigation. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
We could prove that a structure-based drug repurposing approach is an effective strategy to produce a promising antiangiogenic repurposed drug that could also inhibit VEGFR2 in breast cancer. Although risperidone showed modest potency, its clinical availability and repurposing potential support further evaluation in preclinical and clinical settings.

Antipsychotic Chlorpromazine Suppresses STAT5 Signaling, Overcomes Resistance Mediated by the Gatekeeper Mutation FLT3-ITD/F691L, and Synergizes with Quizartinib in FLT3-ITD-Positive Cells. (PubMed, Curr Issues Mol Biol)
Although FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as quizartinib (Quiz) and gilteritinib, have improved clinical outcomes, secondary TKD mutations, particularly the gatekeeper mutation F691L, confer significant resistance. Expression of constitutively active STAT5 partially rescued CPZ-induced growth inhibition. These findings suggest that STAT5 suppression is a key mechanism of CPZ's antileukemic activity and support its potential as a therapeutic strategy for FLT3-ITD-positive AML.

Bridging clinical insight and laboratory model in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) using DNA sequencing-based profiling of TP53. (PubMed, Oncoscience)
In this study, drug repurposing agent's metformin, chlorpromazine (CPZ) alone and combine were tested on both clinical and laboratory ovarian cancer samples to evaluate on hemocytometer and clonogenic assay for dead cell and proliferation respectively. The resulting data were analyzed to achieve successfully known target region and worked as a bridge between clinical and laboratory model. The insights gained from this study not only validate OVCAR3 as a representative model for HGSOC but also provide a foundation for developing targeted therapeutic strategies.

Cancer-Associated Fibroblast-Derived GDF15 Induces Oxidative Stress and Neutrophil Infiltration in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma through the PI3K/AKT/STAT3 Axis Cascade. (PubMed, Research (Wash D C))
Notably, risperidone (SM-2) emerged as a potential inhibitory regulator capable of disrupting the cascade effects mediated by the GDF15-GFRAL axis, underscoring its therapeutic relevance. This study identifies the GDF15-GFRAL signaling axis as a critical regulator of oxidative stress and immune evasion in HNSCC and demonstrates that the novel small-molecule SM-2 effectively targets this pathway, highlighting its potential as a promising therapeutic strategy.

The associations of suicidal ideation with psychopathology and inflammatory cytokines in patients with chronic schizophrenia. (PubMed, BMC Psychiatry)
There was higher overall risk of SI in patients with chronic schizophrenia. SI might be associated with psychotic symptoms, depression, insomnia, medication side effects, and increased levels of inflammatory cytokines. In clinical practice, doctors should take prompt preventive measures in patients combining suicidal risk factors.
