Bosutinib stimulates macrophage survival, phagocytosis and intracellular killing of bacteria
2023-12-14
Abstract excerpt
Host-acting compounds are emerging as potential alternatives to combat antibiotic resistance. Here, we show that bosutinib, an FDA-approved chemotherapeutic for treating chronic myelogenous leukemia, does not possess any antibiotic activity but enhances macrophage responses to bacterial infection. In vitro , bosutinib stimulates murine and human macrophages to kill bacteria more effectively. In a murine wound inf...
