“Further studies proved that AA can promote the accumulation of Dox in MCF-7/Adr cells when combined with doxorubicin.”
“The above results suggest that AA could promote the cellular accumulation of doxorubicin by inducing ROS-dependent ATP depletion.”
“We found that combined administration of AA can improve the sensitivity of both MCF-7 and doxorubicin (Dox)-resistant MCF-7/Adr cells to Dox in vitro and in vivo by a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent mechanism.”
“ Ascorbate had no effect on the antitumor activity of Adriamycin in mice inoculated with leukemia L1210, but it significantly prolonged the life of mice and guinea pigs treated with Adriamycin.”
“ Adriamycin decreased the rate of ascorbate permeation into the bilayer of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) liposomes and DPPC liposomes containing small amounts of phosphatidylglycerol or phosphatidylserine.”
