  • Chinese researchers have discovered that a common blood pressure medication may be effective in treating craniopharyngioma, a rare brain tumor.
  • This study used animal models to closely examine the tumor's characteristics and treatment options.
  • The team screened over 3,000 compounds and identified (S)-amlodipine besylate as a candidate, chosen for its low toxicity and clear action.
  • Future clinical studies are needed to confirm the compound's efficacy and consider potential side effects.
  • The research sheds light on tumor biology and suggests new paths for medication development in treating various brain tumors.
