ondansetron and Mesothelioma

ondansetron has been researched along with Mesothelioma in 1 studies

Ondansetron: A competitive serotonin type 3 receptor antagonist. It is effective in the treatment of nausea and vomiting caused by cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs, including cisplatin, and has reported anxiolytic and neuroleptic properties.

Mesothelioma: A tumor derived from mesothelial tissue (peritoneum, pleura, pericardium). It appears as broad sheets of cells, with some regions containing spindle-shaped, sarcoma-like cells and other regions showing adenomatous patterns. Pleural mesotheliomas have been linked to exposure to asbestos. (Dorland, 27th ed)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We used 86Rb+ (K+ analogue) to study potassium influx during the interaction of highly specific 5-HT3-receptor antagonists, ondansetron and granisetron, with the effects of the anticancer drug, estramustine phosphate, on P31 mesothelioma cells."3.71Diverging effects of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists ondansetron and granisetron on estramustine-inhibited cellular potassium transport.
