Effects of clotrimazole on the growth, morphological characteristics, and cisplatin sensitivity of human glioblastoma cells in vitro

Abstract excerpt

OBJECT: Clotrimazole, an antimycotic drug, inhibits proliferation of normal and cancer cells by downregulating the movement of intracellular Ca++ and K+. The authors examined the effect of clotrimazole on the growth and sensitivity to cisplatin of two human glioblastoma cell lines--A172, which has the wild-type p53 gene, and T98G, which has the mutant p53 gene in vitro. METHODS: The A172 and T98G glioblastoma...
