High-dose DFMO alters protein translation in neuroblastoma
6 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
DFMO has been studied as a cancer therapeutic at doses ranging from 500 to 9,000 mg/m2/day. Lower doses are favored for cancer prevention studies while higher doses, often with chemotherapy, are studied in refractory cancers. DFMO inhibits the rate-limiting enzyme in polyamine synthesis, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), an oncogene transcriptionally regulated by MYC. MYC genes are the principal oncogenic drivers of...
