Abstract in brief

  • The study explores how zaltoprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, can activate PPAR gamma, a protein involved in regulating cell growth, and suppress MMP2, an enzyme that helps cancer cells invade tissue, to fight chondrosarcoma, a type of bone cancer resistant to traditional treatments.
  • It shows that zaltoprofen reduces cancer cell growth, migration, and invasion in lab experiments by activating PPAR gamma and decreasing MMP2 activity, which are both linked to less aggressive tumors.
  • Additionally, a patient with cervical chondrosarcoma treated with zaltoprofen experienced no disease progression for over two years, suggesting the drug could be a promising new strategy for managing this difficult cancer.]
