Naftopidil, a selective α1-adrenoceptor antagonist, is commonly used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, a prostatic disease occurring in elderly men. In drug repositioning studies conducted from our laboratory, we demonstrated that naftopidil has growth inhibitory effects by inducing G1cell cycle arrest in cancer cells, fibroblasts, and vascular endothelial cells. Moreover, naftopidil has been shown to bind directly to and inhibit the polymerization of tubulins; thus, naftopidil may exhibit general cytotoxicity in many types of cells. Recent evidence has supported that additive naftopidil treatment in combination with chemotherapy could be a new clinical application for the treatment of prostate cancer.
