Background and Objectives: Favipiravir (FPV) is an antiviral medication and has an inhibitory effect on Cytochrome P450 (CYP2C8) protein, which is mainly involved in drug metabolism in the liver, and the expression of this gene is known to be enhanced in neuronal cells. The metabolization of Paclitaxel (PTX), a chemotherapeutic drug used in cancer patients, was analyzed for the first time in the human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line for monitoring possible synergistic effects when administered with FPV. Materials and Methods: Further, in vitro cytotoxic and genotoxic evaluations of FPV and PTX were also performed using wide concentration ranges in a human fibroblast cell culture (HDFa). Nuclear abnormalities were examined under a fluorescent microscope using the Hoechst 33258 fluorescent staining technique. In addition, the synergistic effects of these two drugs on cultured SH-SY5Y cells were determined by MTT cell viability assay. In addition, the death mechanisms that can occur in SHSY-5Y were revealed by using the flow cytometry technique. Results: Cell viability analyses on the HDFa healthy cell culture showed that both FPV and PTX have inhibitory effects at higher concentrations. On the other hand, there were no significant differences in nuclear abnormality numbers when both of the compounds were applied together. Cell viability analyses showed that FPV and PTX applications have higher cytotoxicity, which indicated synergistic toxicity against the SHSY-5Y cell line. Also, PTX exhibited higher anticancer properties against the neuroblastoma cell line when applied with FPV, as shown in both cytotoxicity and flow cytometry analyses. Conclusions: In light of our findings, the anticancer properties of PTX can be enhanced when the drug application is coupled with FPV exposure. Moreover, these results put forth that the anticancer drug dosage should be evaluated carefully in cancer patients who take COVID-19 treatment with FPV.
