Discovery of canine drug toceranib phosphate as a repurposed agent against human hepatocellular carcinoma

The mechanism underlying the therapeutic efficacy of TOC combined with autophagy inhibition against human HCC. TOC can directly induce apoptosis in HCC cells, and promote CYR61-mediated inhibition of the Akt/mTOR pathway, thereby triggering cytoprotective autophagy. Therefore, TOC combined with autophagy inhibitor CQ or 3-MA could enhance its anti-HCC effect.
