Drug(s) whose efficacy can be enhanced by this phytochemical
Hide/Show
Combination Pair ID: 415
Pair Name Icariin, Fluorouracil
Partner Name Fluorouracil
Disease Info [ICD-11: 2B91] Colorectal cancer Investigative
Biological Phenomena Induction-->Apoptosis
Gene Regulation Up-regulation Expression BAX hsa581
Down-regulation Expression BCL-xL hsa598
Up-regulation Cleavage CASP3 hsa836
Up-regulation Cleavage CASP8 hsa841
Up-regulation Cleavage CASP9 hsa842
Down-regulation Expression CCND1 hsa595
Down-regulation Expression NFKB1 hsa4790
Up-regulation Cleavage PARP1 hsa142
In Vitro Model HT-29 Colon adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens (Human) CVCL_0320
HCT 116 Colon carcinoma Homo sapiens (Human) CVCL_0291
In Vivo Model HCT116 cells were injected into nude mice, tumour appearance was inspected twice a week.
Result We suggest that combination of icariin with 5-FU might offer a therapeutic benefit to the patients with CRC; however, further studies are required to ascertain this proposition.
Combination Pair ID: 416
Pair Name Icariin, Arsenic oxide (As2O3)
Partner Name Arsenic oxide (As2O3)
Disease Info [ICD-11: XH1A50] Acute promyelocytic leukemia Investigative
Gene Regulation Up-regulation Cleavage CASP3 hsa836
Up-regulation Cleavage PARP1 hsa142
Up-regulation Expression ROS1 hsa6098
In Vitro Model HL-60 Adult acute myeloid leukemia Homo sapiens (Human) CVCL_0002
NB4 Acute promyelocytic leukemia Homo sapiens (Human) CVCL_0005
Result Our results showed that Icariin, by increasing intracellular ROS, exhibited antitumor activity and potentiated the antitumor activity of ATO against APL. Therefore, combination treatment with Icariin and ATO might offer a novel therapeutic option for patients with APL, although further studies are needed.
Combination Pair ID: 417
Pair Name Icariin, Gemcitabine
Partner Name Gemcitabine
Disease Info [ICD-11: 2C94] Bladder cancer Investigative
Biological Phenomena Induction-->Blockade of cell cycle in G0/G1 phase
Gene Regulation Down-regulation Expression BCL2 hsa596
Down-regulation Expression BCL-xL hsa598
Down-regulation Expression BIRC5 hsa332
Down-regulation Expression CASP3 hsa836
Down-regulation Activity NFKB1 hsa4790

In Vitro Model GBC-SD Gallbladder carcinoma Homo sapiens (Human) CVCL_6903
SGC-996 Gallbladder carcinoma Homo sapiens (Human) CVCL_M737
In Vivo Model 1×10⁵ GBC-SD cells were injected subcutaneously into the right and left abdominal regions with a gauge needle.
Result Icariin, by suppressing NF-κB activity, exerts antitumor activity, and potentiates the antitumor activity of gemcitabine in gallbladder cancer. Combined administration of gemcitabine and icariin may offer a better therapeutic option for the patients with gallbladder cancer.
