Here, we report that mitochondrial uncouplers, including tizoxanide (TIZ), the active metabolite of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved anthelmintic nitazoxanide (NTZ), inhibit E2F1-mediated expression of genes involved in cell cycle progression, DNA synthesis, and lipid synthesis. Consequently, NTZ/TIZ induces S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (SKP2)-mediated G1 arrest while impeding DNA synthesis, lipogenesis, and the growth of prostate cancer cells. The anti-cancer activity of TIZ correlates with its OXPHOS-uncoupling activity. NTZ/TIZ appears to inhibit ATP production, thereby activating the AMP-activated kinase (AMPK)-p38 pathway, leading to cyclin D1 degradation, Rb dephosphorylation, and subsequent E2F1 inhibition.
