“Our study showed that the combination of caffeine and 5-FU significantly inhibited the proliferation of HCC cells in vivo and in vitro comparing with caffeine or 5-FU monotherapy.”
“Taken together, this is the first study to demonstrate that the combination of caffeine and 5-FU inhibits HCC cells proliferation and promotes cellular apoptosis by regulating intracellular ROS production.”
“The CI values of caffeine (0.5 mM) combined with 5-FU (25, 50 μM) were all less than 1, confirming that the utilization of drug combination has a synergistic inhibitory effect on the proliferation of HCC cells.”
“For a variety of pharmaceutical agents (acetazolamide, mitomycin C, hydroxyurea, 5-fluorouracil), caffeine was shown to enhance the teratogenic effect of the agent.”

“Furthermore, caffeine also inhibited the accumulation of p53 by a variety of stress-inducing agents in vivo, such as 5-fluorouracil , doxorubicin, mitomycin C, camptothecin and roscovitine.”
