ConclusionFrom the foregoing it is evident that the experimental profile of miltefosine and alkylphosphocholines is different from that of conventional anticancer agents. Much evidence indicated that the mode of action of alkylphosphocholines was related to plasma-membrane-associated phosphoinositide metabolism. Inhibition of phospholipase C and/or PKC is currently thought to be the main biochemical target of alkylphosphocholines. Considering the great importance of both phosphoinositide metabolism and the regulation of a broad spectrum of cellular functions, including differentiation and invasion, miltefosine could become an interesting new drug. In addition, it may be a tool for further studies into the biochemical pathway of signal transduction in malignant cells.
