Initially, research on pancreatic cancer revealed that blocking HGF/c-MET reduced TGF- release from cancer cells, leading to an increase in cytotoxic T-cell invasion, which culminated in the demise of cancer cells within the tumor [93]
Furthermore, it should be noted that three recently discovered dimeric indole alkaloids namely 17-deacetoxycyclovinblastine, 14,15-didehydrocyclovinblastine, and 17-deacetoxyvinamidine along with five established compounds (vinamidine, leurosine, catharine, cycloleurosine, and leurosidine) exhibited in vitro viability inhibition against the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 with an inhibitory concentration ranging from 0.73 to 10.67 M (44)
Purity assessment
Future studies evaluating glutathione with a larger sample size with statistical power to differentiate the association proposal by manic or depressive episodes, as well as the use of NAC as a suicide risk reducer, seem justified
