Collectively, this study provides a basis for the reevaluation of cardiac glycosides in the treatment of breast cancer and more importantly reveals their potential in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancers. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiological studies indicate that patients on digitalis therapy are more protected from cancer. Evidence of a selective cytotoxicity against cancer cells has suggested their potential use as anticancer drugs. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

More recently, digitoxin is recognized for its profound anticancer activity from both epidemiological and in vitro research studies. Concern remains, however, due to the low threshold for cardiotoxicity and its narrow therapeutic window. [northeastern.edu]

However, some early epidemiologic studies, describing significantly lower growth potential of tumors on patients on digitalis treatment, sparked new interest in the anticancer properties of these drugs ( 2 ). [mct.aacrjournals.org]

The inflammatory process is believed to be caused by massive overproduction of the proinflammatory protein IL-8, and the high levels of IL-8 in the CF lung are therefore believed to be the central mechanism behind CF lung pathophysiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Thus digitoxin and its related active analogues can be considered as potentially useful in addressing the central mechanism of CF lung pathophysiology. [doi.org]

Additionally, digitoxin prevented TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis in EC accompanied by activation of Akt. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
