Therapeutic Potential of BMX-001 for Preventing Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathic Pain
2025
Overview
Background/Objectives: Chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP) represents a critical challenge in oncology, emerging as a common and debilitating side effect of widely used chemotherapeutic agents, such as paclitaxel (PTX). Current therapeutic interventions and preventive strategies for CINP are largely insufficient, as they fail to address the underlying peripheral nerve damage, highlighting an urgent need for the development of new drugs. This study aimed to investigate the dual-function effects on normal cell protection and tumor suppression of BMX-001, a redox-active manganese metalloporphyrin that has demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which offers potential in protecting central nervous system tissues and treating CINP. Methods: This study assessed BMX-001’s different roles in protecting normal cells while acting as a pro-oxidant and pro-inflammatory molecule in cancer cells in vitro. We also evaluated its neuroprotective effect in preclinical PTX-induced CINP models in vivo. Results: Our results showed significant reductions in mechanical and cold allodynia, decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, and restored antioxidant capacity in peripheral nerves and dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) following BMX-001 treatment. Conclusions: Overall, our study highlights the therapeutic potential of BMX-001 to mitigate CINP and enhance anticancer efficiency. Its dual-selective mechanism supports the future clinical investigation of BMX-001 as a novel adjunct to chemotherapeutic regimens.
