Drug Combination Details

General Information of the Combination (ID: C17411)
Name Sclareol   NP Info  + Doxorubicin   Drug Info 
Structure +
Disease
Breast cancer [ICD-11: 2C60]
Investigative [1]
Combinatorial Therapeutic Effect(s) Validated Clinically or Experimentally
    α. Enhancing Drug Efficacy by This Combination
                 Achieving Therapeutic Synergy     Click to Show/Hide
                    Experiment 1 Reporting the Effect of This Combination [2]
                    In-vitro Model MCF-7 CVCL_0031 Invasive breast carcinoma Homo sapiens
4T1 CVCL_0125 Malignant neoplasms Mus musculus
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
The SLN-DOX-SC demonstrated to be more effective than the free DOX against 4T1 cells. So, the developed SLN efficiently encapsulate DOX and SC and show good potential as an alternative for cancer treatment.
    β. Decreasing Adverse Drug Reaction by This Combination

                    Experiment 1 Reporting the Effect of This Combination [1]
                    In-vitro Model MDA-MB-231 CVCL_0062 Breast adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens
4T1 CVCL_0125 Malignant neoplasms Mus musculus
                    In-vivo Model 4T1 (2.5 * 106 ) tumour cells were subcutaneously injected into the right thigh of female BALB/c mice (5 weeks old, around 20 g).
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
NLC-DOX-SC shows to be a superior option over the free combination as it maintains the synergism between DOX and SC in triple negative breast cancer models and is less toxic (less myelossupressive, prevents weight loss and behaviour alterations) than the free combination, showing the benefits of nanomedicine in reducing chemotherapy side effects.
