Unlocking the Potential of Indirubin in Cancer Treatment
Indirubin is a type of anthracycline, a class of chemotherapy drugs used to treat various types of cancer, including breast, ovarian, and lung cancers. It works by interfering with the DNA replication process in cancer cells, which causes them to die.
Indirubin is not commonly used as a standalone treatment for cancer, but it has been studied as a potential component of combination therapies. Researchers are exploring its use in combination with other chemotherapy drugs or targeted therapies to enhance its effectiveness and minimize side effects.
One of the challenges of using indirubin in cancer treatment is that it can have significant side effects, particularly on the heart and liver. However, researchers are working to develop new formulations and delivery methods that may help reduce these side effects while maintaining the drug's anti-cancer activity.
