The invention belongs to the technical field of
medical treatment, and particularly relates to a pharmaceutical composition and application thereof in preparation of antitumor drugs. The pharmaceutical composition provided by the invention comprises the
lenvatinib and the cirametin. It is found for the first time that combination of cirametin and
lenvatinib has a synergistic effect on inhibition of
liver cancer cell proliferation and migration and induction of
apoptosis, and also can synergistically enhance
liver cancer cell lysosomal membrane permeability, so that the
treatment effect of the pharmaceutical composition on
liver cancer is effectively improved. Animal experiments prove that in-vivo
combined use of the cirametin and the
lenvatinib can more effectively inhibit proliferation of
xenotransplantation tumors in nude mice compared with
single use of cirametin or lenvatinib. In addition, the pharmaceutical composition can generate an ideal effect in an
oral administration mode, and toxic and side effects are controllable. Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition has a good application prospect in the aspect of targeted prevention and treatment of
hepatocellular carcinoma, and a new scheme with transformation potential is provided for clinically coping with the
drug resistance of the lenvatinib.
