Exploring the cytotoxicity and anticancer effects of doxycycline and azithromycin on human glioblastoma multiforme cells.

The antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing activity exhibited by both antibiotics against U87 cells demonstrates their potential as a likely alternative to combat GBM. It would be interesting to find out more about their molecular players and cytotoxic effects in different types of GBM cells, including glioma stem cells (GSCs).
