LONDON (Reuters) - A commonly used
HIV medicine may also
help prevent cervical cancer and could be developed into an
anti-cancer cream, early laboratory tests by British scientists
suggest.
that test-tube studies showed the drug lopinavir selectively
killed human papilloma virus (HPV) — the virus that causes
cervical cancer — as well as HIV.
Lopinavir belongs to a class of HIV drugs known as protease
inhibitors. It is a key component of Abbott Laboratories Inc’s
best-selling pill Kaletra.
Dr Ian Hampson and his colleagues in Manchester believe
lopinavir could eventually be made into a simple cream or
pessary, offering an alternative to surgery for women with
precancerous lesions.
No clinical trials have yet commenced, however.
Results of the team’s early research will be published in
next month’s issue of the journal Anti-Viral Therapy and will
also be presented at the International HPV meeting in Prague on
September 5.
Merck & Co Inc and GlaxoSmithKline Plc have both developed
ground-breaking vaccines to prevent strains of HPV that cause
most cases of cervical cancer.
But Hampson said not all women would be vaccinated and not
all lesions would be prevented by the new shots, leaving a role
for non-surgical therapies such as his team’s proposed cream.
