Possible Interaction: Fluorouracil and Allicin

supplement:

Allicin

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Cells combined treatment with allicin and 5-FU increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, reduced mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), activated caspase-3 and PARP, and down-regulated Bcl-2 compared with DMSO, allicin and 5-FU treated alone.
In the present study, we demonstrated that allicin enhanced 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) inducing cytotoxicity in HCC cells.

Better results were obtained when a lower concentration of 5-FU was combined with allicin than the single-agent treatment at IC50.
In this study, we highlighted that the combination of allicin with 5-FU inhibited the cell migration and proliferation of colorectal and lung cancer cells.
The synergistic antitumor effect of 5-FU combined with allicin was visible against lung and colorectal carcinoma cells.

Indeed, the combination of allicin and 5-FU significantly decreased the expression of the P-gp and CD44 proteins (P<0.05).
RESULTS Here, we found that the combination of al icin wi th 5-F U si gnificantly increased apoptosis compared to 5-FU alone (P<0.05).
Thus, the combination of 5-FU with adjuvants such as allicin may overcome multidrug resistance (MDR).
