Application of the antitussive agents oxelaidin and butamirate as anti-glioma agents

Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor with a strong tendency of relapse and resistance to chemotherapy, but we currently lack non-toxic agents that effectively treat GBM. In this study, high-throughput screening of FDA-approved drugs was performed to identify safe and effective mo...
