Özet
This study investigates the potential of agomelatine (AGO), a synthetic melatoninergic drug, in combination with paclitaxel (PTX) for the treatment of breast cancer. The effects of AGO, PTX and melatonin (MTN) on breast cancer cell viability were investigated, focusing on the role of MT1 receptors. Cell viability and gene expression were analyzed in MCF‐7 and MDA‐MB‐231 breast cancer cell experiments. The results show that AGO has cytotoxic effects on breast cancer cells similar to MTN. Combining AGO and MTN with PTX showed synergistic effects in MCF‐7 cells. The study also reveals differences in the molecular mechanisms of breast cancer between estrogen‐positive MCF‐7 cells and estrogen‐negative MDA‐MB‐231 cells. Combination with AGO and PTX affects apoptosis‐associated proteins in both cell types. The findings suggest that AGO, combined with PTX, may be a promising adjuvant therapy for …
