Table 2. Summary of PHEN’s activity against cancer and metastasis.
| Reference | Findings |
|---|---|
| Nelson, 2015 64 | PHEN at clinically achievable concentration reduces breast cancer growth, invasion and metastasis
in vivo in
a xenograft model. |
| Yang M, 2012 60 | At clinically achievable concentration PHEN inhibited migration and invasion of highly metastatic breast
cancer MDA-MB-231 cell line, and had no effect on MCF-7 cell line which has a low metastatic potential and do not express VGSCs. |
| Lee Ts, 2010 65 | DPTH-N10 a phenytoin derivate drug, inhibits proliferation of COLO 205 colon cancer cell line. |
| Lyu Y, 2008 66 | DPTH-N10 a phenytoin derivate drug, shows strong anti-angiogenic activity. Inhibits HUVEC proliferation and
capillary like tube formation. |
| Sikes, 2003 67 | New VGSC blockers based on PHEN, showed increased inhibition of prostate cancer growth. |
| Anderson, 2003 68 | Developed new VGSC blockers based on the PHEN binding site study. These new VGSC blockers showed
potent inhibition of prostate cancer cells growth (Androgen independent PC3 line). |
| Fraser, 2003 36 | PHEN decreased motility of prostate cancer cells. |
| Abdul, 2001 62 | PHEN and carbamazepine decreased PSA secretion in human prostate carcinoma cell lines. |
| Lobert, 1999 69 | PHEN has inhibitory effects on microtubule assembly and has additive effects with vinblastine. |
| Kawamura, 1996 70 | PHEN potentiates vinblastine citotoxicity. |
| Sato K, 1994 31 | PHEN decreased growth of MIA PaCa-2 (pancreatic cancer cells). |
| Lang DG, 1993 71 | PHEN, Carbamazepine and lamotrigine are inhibitors of sodium channels and reduces glutamate release in
rat neuroblastoma cells. |
| Tittle, 1992 72 | PHEN decreased growth in six murine tumor cell lines of lymphoid origin. |
