    α. Enhancing Drug Efficacy by This Combination
                 Achieving Therapeutic Synergy     Click to Show/Hide
                    Experiment 1 Reporting the Effect of This Combination [1]
                    In-vitro Model 4T1 CVCL_0125 Malignant neoplasms Mus musculus
BCaP-37 CVCL_0164 Breast cancer Homo sapiens
MCF-7 CVCL_0031 Invasive breast carcinoma Homo sapiens
                    In-vivo Model Mouse 4T1 breast cancer cells (1.0*105) were suspended in 0.1 mL of normal saline (NS) and injected subcutaneously in theright axillary fossa of BALB/c mice.
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
Honokiol inhibited the proliferation of 4T1 cells via apoptosis and significantly enhanced the apoptosis of 4T1 cells induced by adriamycin.
    β. Reversing Drug Resistance by This Combination
