A new phenylacetate-bisphosphonate inhibits breast cancer cell growth by proapoptotic and antiangiogenic effects.

Abstract

Sodium phenylacetate (NaPa) and some bisphosphonates demonstrated antiproliferative and proapoptotic properties against cancer. We have previously shown that NaPa inhibited cell proliferation of MCF7-ras tumor breast cells both in vitro and in vivo. On the other hand, bisphosphonate activities have only been demonstrated in vitro. Here we evaluated the antitumor effects of a new bisphosphonate, the phenylacetate-bisphosphonate (PaBp), on human breast cancer MCF7 and MCF7-ras cell lines, both in vitro and in vivo. To our knowledge, this is the first report indicating the use of a bisphosphonate derivative as a powerful cytostatic and cytotoxic agent, with proapoptotic and antiangiogenic properties on human breast cancer cells lines, with no animal toxicity.
