DETERMINING DRUG COMBINATIONS, SYNERGISTIC DRUG COMBINATION AND USE THEREOF IN PANCREATIC CANCER TREATMENT
A pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of Dacomitinib as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor and a prostaglandin-Endoperoxide Synthase 2 (PTGS2) inhibitor, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. A pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of Dacomitinib as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor and an Adrenoceptor Beta 2 (ADRB2) inhibitor, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. A method of treating pancreatic cancer, the method comprising the step of administering a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition to an individual in need thereof, the pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of Dacomitinib as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor with a prostaglandin-Endoperoxide Synthase 2 (PTGS2) inhibitor or an Adrenoceptor Beta 2 (ADRB2) inhibitor, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
1 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of Dacomitinib as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor and a prostaglandin-Endoperoxide Synthase 2 (PTGS2) inhibitor, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
2 . The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the PTGS2 inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of Sulindac, Meloxicam, Etodolac, Naproxen, Monobenzone, Etoricoxib, Rofecoxib, Celecoxib, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof.
3 . The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 is in the form of a combination product.
4 . The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 , wherein the PTGS2 inhibitor inhibits upregulated PTGS2 expression which in turn increases the therapeutic effect of Dacomitinib in treatment of pancreatic cancer.
5 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of Dacomitinib as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor and an Adrenoceptor Beta 2 (ADRB2) inhibitor, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
6 . The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 5 , wherein the ADRB2 inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of Metoprolol, Atenolol, Doxofylline, Propafenone, Propranolol HCL, Nadolol, Nebivolol HCL, Salmeterol Xinafoate, Octreotide, Timolol Maleate, Carvedilol, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof.
7 . The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 5 is in the form of a combination product.
8 . The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 5 , wherein the ADRB2 inhibitor inhibit ADRB2 signalling that promotes cancer progression, which in turn increases the therapeutic effect of Dacomitinib in treatment of pancreatic cancer.
9 . A method of treating pancreatic cancer, the method comprising the step of administering a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition to an individual in need thereof, the pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of Dacomitinib as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor with a prostaglandin-Endoperoxide Synthase 2 (PTGS2) inhibitor or an Adrenoceptor Beta 2 (ADRB2) inhibitor, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
10 . The method of treating pancreatic cancer according to claim 9 , wherein the PTGS2 inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of Sulindac, Meloxicam, Etodolac, Naproxen, Monobenzone, Etoricoxib, Rofecoxib, Celecoxib, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof.
11 . The method of treating pancreatic cancer according to claim 9 , wherein the ADRB2 inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of Metoprolol, Atenolol, Doxofylline, Propafenone, Propranolol HCL, Nadolol, Nebivolol HCL, Salmeterol Xinafoate, Octreotide, Timolol Maleate, Carvedilol, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof.
12 . The method of treating pancreatic cancer according to claim 9 , wherein the PTGS2 inhibitor inhibits upregulated PTGS2 expression, which in turn increases the therapeutic effect of Dacomitinib in treatment of pancreatic cancer.
13 . The method of treating pancreatic cancer according to claim 9 , wherein the ADRB2 inhibitor inhibit ADRB2 signalling that promotes cancer progression, which in turn increases the therapeutic effect of Dacomitinib in treatment of pancreatic cancer.
