Combined Use of a SERCA Inhibitor and a Calmodulin Antagonist

The administration of a Calmodulin antagonist such as Trifluoperazine in combination with a SERCA inhibitor like

Thapsigargin is surprisingly useful in the treatment of tumors, which are in particular characterized by the overexpression of the SEC62 gene/Sec62 protein. They showed that the combined use of a SERCA inhibitor and a Calmodulin antagonist acts 1) on the inhibition of cell migration and 2) counteracts the reduced efficiency of SERCA inhibitor observed in the treatment of tumors overexpressing SEC62 gene /protein, thereby providing an effective treatment of these tumors. Notably, the Calmodulin antagonist Trifluoperazine is an approved antipsychotic und antiemetic drug.
