Embodiment 1

[0036] 1. Hypoglycemia promotes anoikis in Metformin-induced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma FaDu cells.

[0037] Figure 1-Figure 4 The dosage of metformin in the drug was 20 mmol / L.

[0038] The process of anoikis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma FaDu cells is as follows: figure 1 As shown, adherent cells undergo apoptosis after detaching from their growth site.

[0039] figure 2 It was obtained by adding 20 mmol / L metformin to treat FaDu cells for 24 hours under the conditions of blood glucose concentration of 4.5 mg / mL and blood glucose concentration of 1.0 mg / mL, and counting the number of adherent cells by hemocytometer. like figure 2 As shown, when the blood glucose concentration was 4.5 mg / mL, metformin had no effect on FaDu cells of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and when the blood glucose concentration was 1.0 mg / mL, the number of adherent cells of FaDu cells of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma decreased significantly, indicating that...

Embodiment 2

[0047] Based on the use of metformin of the present invention in the preparation of drugs for the treatment and / or prevention of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, the present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising metformin as an active ingredient, an active ingredient of a hypoglycemic drug, one or more pharmaceutical acceptable excipients or excipients.

[0048] The active ingredients of the hypoglycemic drugs include insulin and its analogs, sulfonylurea secretagogues, metformin, α-glucosidase inhibitors, thiazolidinedione derivatives sensitizers, fennelic acid derivatives Any one or more of the active ingredients in secretagogues, GLP-1 receptor agonists, DDP-4 enzyme inhibitors, and Chinese patent medicines. The therapeutic effect of metformin is achieved by creating a glucose-starved environment through the active ingredients of hypoglycemic drugs. Metformin and hypoglycemic drug active ingredients are selected according to conventional dos...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of biological medicine and specifically relates to application of metformin used for preparation of a medicine for treating and / or preventing squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck and a pharmaceutical composition. In order to solve the technical problem existing in the prior art, the invention provides application of metformin used for preparation of a medicine for treating and / or preventing squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck. The metformin, in a glucose starvation environment, can effectively induce anoikis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma FaDu cells. Then, metformin can be used for preparation of a medicine for treating squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck. Through low-sugar diet for creating a glucose starvation environment, it helps metformin to inhibit growth of squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck. The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition which comprises metformin as an active component and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary materials or excipients. Application of metformin in treating squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck in a glucose starvation environment is effectively broadened. Through combined use of various dosage forms, effective control and prevention of squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and specifically relates to the use of metformin in the preparation of medicines for treating and / or preventing head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and a pharmaceutical composition. Background technique [0002] Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma includes throat squamous cell carcinoma and oral squamous cell carcinoma. Currently, the main treatments for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma are surgical resection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. At present, there are few therapeutic drugs, and the median survival time of existing treatment strategies for patients with recurrent metastasis is only 3-4 months. Metformin is mainly used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Recent clinical studies have shown that metformin can significantly reduce the risk of cancer in patients with type 2 diabetes. But it...
