agents, even if the mechanism of action is still obscure
in many cases.
Among new-generation sulfonylureas, at a preclinical
level, glibenclamide proved to be a tumor growth inhibitor
[12–35]. Derivatives of DSU (S)-()-4-phenyl-1-[N-(4-aminobenzoyl)-
indoline-5-sulfonyl-4,5-dihydro-2-imidazolone]hydrochloride
(DW2282) that combine dual anticancer effects
are of more interest in the clinical setting because they might
bypass chemoresistance to “classic” anticancer agents such as
taxanes or vinca alkaloids.
