Abstract

Fluvoxamine's (FLX's) anticancer potential was investigated in pre-clinical research utilizing a DMH-induced colorectal cancer (CRC) rat model. qRT-PCR and immunoblotting validated the mechanistic investigation. The CRC condition was induced in response to COX-2 and IL-6, however, following FLX therapy, the condition returned to normal. FLX's anti-CRC potential may be attributable to COX-2 inhibition since this molecular activity was more apparent for COX-2 than IL-6. FLX repaired the altered metabolites linked to CRC rats, according to 1H-NMR analysis. FLX was shown to be similar to 5-FU in terms of tumor protection, which may be useful in future medication development.
