1 RESULTS: The combination of riluzole with sorafenib exhibited enhanced antitumor activities in GRM1-expressing melanoma cells harboring either wild-type or mutated B-RAF. Sorafenib glutamate metabotropic receptor 1 Homo sapiens
2 The combination of riluzole with PLX4720 showed lessened efficacy compared with the combination of riluzole and sorafenib in suppressing the growth of GRM1-expressing cells harboring the B-RAF(V600E) mutation. Sorafenib glutamate metabotropic receptor 1 Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSIONS: The combination of riluzole with sorafenib seems potent in suppressing tumor proliferation in vitro and in vivo in GRM1-expressing melanoma cells regardless of B-RAF genotype and may be a viable therapeutic clinical combination. Sorafenib glutamate metabotropic receptor 1 Homo sapiens
