This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a traditional cholagogue drug osalmid, 2-hydroxy-N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-benzamide, in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM).
Osalmid, 2-hydroxy-N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-benzamide, is a traditional cholagogue and is clinically used in China to promote biliary drainage and protect liver function. Studies have shown that osalmid is an inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase (RR). Recently, it was proven by our group that osalmid induced a dose-dependent lethality in multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines H929, OPM2, U266, OCI-MY5, and RPMI 8266, as well as in MM xenograft mouse models. This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of osalmid in the treatment of MM.
