Triptolide derivative, Minnelide, shows promising results in enhancing medulloblastoma treatment efficacy and reducing toxicity.
A drug initially developed for pancreatic cancer, triptolide, has shown promising results in treating medulloblastoma, the most common malignant brain tumor in children, with preclinical studies showing increased symptom-free survival without toxicity.
The drug's water-soluble prodrug version, Minnelide, has also demonstrated effectiveness in reducing tumor growth and cancer cell spread, increasing the efficacy of cyclophosphamide, a chemotherapy drug currently used in medulloblastoma treatment.
Minnelide is currently being tested in adult clinical trials for various types of cancer, including pancreatic cancer.
