Route : -
Dose/Conc.(herb) : 10-40 micromolar/L
Duration : -
Type of interaction : P.Kinetics & P.Dynamics
Interaction with drug : NS-398
Dose/Conc.(drug) : 10 micromolar/L
Remark : Type of experiment: human prostate cancer cells LNCaP, PC-3, and CWR22Rn1
Results: Combination of EGCG and NS-398 resulted in enhanced (a) cell growth inhibition; (b) apoptosis induction; (c) expression of Bax, pro-caspase-6, and pro-caspase-9, and poly (ADP) ribose polymerase cleavage; (d) inhibition of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor g; and (e) inhibition of nuclear factor-kB compared with the additive effects of the two agents alone, suggesting a possible synergism.
