Based on reporting in the last several years, an impressive but dismal list of
cytotoxic chemotherapies that fail to prolong the median overall survival of
patients with glioblastoma has prompted the development of treatment protocols
designed to interfere with growth-facilitating signaling systems by using
non-cytotoxic, non-oncology drugs. Recent recognition of the pro-mobility
stimulus, interleukin-18, as a driver of centrifugal glioblastoma cell migration
allows potential treatment adjuncts with disulfiram and ritonavir. Disulfiram and
ritonavir are well-tolerated, non-cytotoxic, non-oncology chemotherapeutic drugs
that are marketed for the treatment of alcoholism and human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) infection, respectively. Both drugs exhibit an
interleukin-18-inhibiting function. Given the favorable tolerability profile of
disulfiram and ritonavir, the unlikely drug-drug interaction with temozolomide,
and the poor prognosis of glioblastoma, trials of addition of disulfiram and
ritonavir to current standard initial treatment of glioblastoma would be
warranted.
