Antiproliferative Potential of Linagliptin-Rivaroxaban Mixture in Cervical Cancer: Mechanistic Insights into Targeting Mutant MAPK, RAS kinase Signal Protein
Repositioning existing marketed drugs represents a viable strategy for identifying new anticancer agents. This study employed an approach that combined these drugs and examined their molecular mechanisms of action against cancer. This study evaluated the anticancer properties of the linagliptin-rivaroxaban mixture and its molecular anticancer mechanism by screening its ability to target the mutant MAPK-RAS kinase signal proteins. Following 24 and 72 hours of incubation, HeLa and human-derived adipose tissue (NHF) cell lines were utilized to investigate the anticancer and safety properties of a linagliptin-rivaroxaban mixture and cisplatin at concentrations between 0.1 and 1,000 µg/ml. A combination and selectivity index study assessed the potential synergistic effects between mixture ingredients and selective toxicity. Computational molecular docking simulations were employed to investigate the binding affinity of linagliptin and rivaroxaban to various mutant kinase signal proteins within the MAPK-RAS kinase pathway. The study results indicated that the combination of linagliptin and rivaroxaban significantly suppressed the growth of cervical cancer cells compared to the inhibitory effects of cisplatin, linagliptin, and rivaroxaban individually. Furthermore, the mixture cytotoxicity on the NHF cell line was significantly lower than that of cisplatin. The interaction between linagliptin and rivaroxaban exhibited synergistic cytotoxicity, as evidenced by the combination index score. The mixture exhibited selective cytotoxicity against cancer cells, suggesting a favorable toxicity index score. The outcomes of the molecular docking pilot study of diverse mutant MAPK-RAS kinase signal proteins with the mixture's ingredients are indicated. Linagliptin and rivaroxaban's best interactions were with mutant P38 MAPK and RAS kinase signal proteins, with docking scores of -7.9 kcal/mol and -8.7 kcal/mol, respectively. Regarding the study findings and the established pharmacokinetic and safety profiles of mixture drugs. The linagliptin-rivaroxaban mixture offers an attractive and safer alternative for cervical cancer treatment.

This investigation aimed to evaluate the combined efficacy of ciprofloxacin and esomeprazole in inhibiting cervical cancer proliferation and their capacity to target heat shock protein 70 in vitro. The MTT assay was utilized to assess the anticancer properties of the ciprofloxacin-esomeprazole combination on the HeLa cervical cancer cell line. The human fibroblast cell line (HFF) is employed to assess the combination's safety. The assay was performed within 24 and 72 hours of incubation.

The study employed the selective toxicity index to assess the selectivity of the mixture for cancer cells. The combination index was utilized to evaluate the potential synergistic effects of ciprofloxacin and esomeprazole. This study utilizes computational molecular docking simulations to assess the binding affinity of Ciprofloxacin and esomeprazole to heat shock protein 70 (PDB code: 1hjo). The MTT assay and selective toxicity index results indicated that the combination of ciprofloxacin and esomeprazole selectively inhibited the proliferation of cervical cancer cells. The inhibitory effect depended on the concentration of the mixture and the incubation duration, with a diminished impact on the viability of the HFF cell line. The combination index study indicates that the interaction between ciprofloxacin and esomeprazole shows a synergistic effect at each incubation period. The computational molecular docking simulation indicated that ciprofloxacin and esomeprazole target Hsp 70, with docking scores of -7.4 kcal/mol and -7.3 kcal/mol, respectively. Our findings from the MTT assay, selective toxicity index, combination index, and computational docking simulations suggest that the combination of ciprofloxacin and esomeprazole is a promising option for treating cervical cancer, given their set adverse effects and pharmacokinetic profiles.
