Oral photoprotection aims to reduce incidence rates through oral intake of photoprotective compounds. Recently, drug repurposing has gained traction as an interesting source of chemoprevention. Because of their reported photoprotective properties, we investigated the potential of bucillamine, carvedilol, metformin, and phenformin as photoprotective compounds following oral intake in UVR-exposed hairless mice. Tumour development was observed in all groups in response to UVR, with only the positive control (Nicotinamide) demonstrating a reduction in tumour incidence (23.8%). No change in tumour development was observed in the four repurposed drug groups compared to the UV control group, whereas nicotinamide significantly reduced carcinogenesis (P\u2009=\u20090.00012). Metformin treatment significantly reduced UVR-induced erythema (P\u2009=\u20090.012), bucillamine and phenformin increased dorsal pigmentation (P\u2009=\u20090.0013, and P\u2009=\u20090.0005), but no other photoprotective effect was observed across the repurposed groups. This study demonstrates that oral supplementation with bucillamine, carvedilol, metformin, or phenformin does not affect UVR-induced carcinogenesis in hairless mice.<\/jats:p>\n                <jats:p><jats:bold>Graphical Abstract<\/jats:bold><\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s43630-024-00535-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,9]],"date-time":"2024-02-09T20:01:56Z","timestamp":1707508916000},"page":"517-526","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Oral intake of bucillamine, carvedilol, metformin, or phenformin does not protect against UVR-induced squamous cell carcinomas in hairless mice"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0848-9096","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Celina","family":"Pihl","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3031-1390","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Bjerring","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1199-9396","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Flemming","family":"Andersen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1250-2035","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Merete","family":"Haedersdal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3653-6424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catharina M.","family":"Lerche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"8","key":"535_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"673","DOI":"10.1038\/nrd1468","volume":"3","author":"TT Ashburn","year":"2004","unstructured":"Ashburn, T.
