Maprotiline is a highly selective noradrenergic reuptake inhibitor that has strong antidepressant, antitumor and neuropathic pain-relieving effects. Maprotiline induces cancer cell apoptosis by targeting the ERK signaling pathway and CRABP1.
Maprotiline (0-20 μM, 0-72 h) inhibits the growth of Huh7 and HepG2 cells and induces cell apoptosis[1]. Maprotiline (0-20 μM, 0-72 h) inhibits the metastasis of liver cancer cells[1]. Maprotiline (0-20 μM, 72 h) affects the ERK pathway and inhibits the phosphorylation of SREBP2 in HepG2 and Huh7 cells[1]. Maprotiline targets CRABP1 and regulates cholesterol biosynthesis in HCC cells[1].
Maprotiline (20-40 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, twice a week for three weeks) inhibits liver cancer tumor growth in mice[1]. Maprotiline (3-30 mg/kg, intravenous injection, single dose) combined with the synthetic cannabinoid WIN 55,212-2 effectively reduces neuropathic pain in mice[2].
