Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: We screened the FDA-approved drug library and found that Nuplazid, an atypical antipsychotic that acts as an effective 5-HT 2 A receptor inverse agonist, could potentially exert anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo on ESCC. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that Nuplazid can suppress ESCC progression through targeting PAK4.
