03. Combinatorial Therapeutic Effect(s)
Synergistic Effect
Hide/Show
Drug(s) whose efficacy can be enhanced by this phytochemical
Hide/Show
Combination Pair ID: 519
Pair Name Taurine, Temozolomide
Partner Name Temozolomide
Disease Info [ICD-11: 2A00] Glioblastoma multiforme Investigative
Biological Phenomena Induction-->Blockade of cell cycle in G2/M phase
Gene Regulation Down-regulation Phosphorylation AKT1 hsa207
Up-regulation Expression BAX hsa581
Down-regulation Expression BCL2 hsa596
In Vitro Model U-251MG Astrocytoma Homo sapiens (Human) CVCL_0021
Result The study showed that the combination between TMZ and TAU has a potential in anticancer properties against U-251 MG manifested by the induction of G2/M arrest and apoptosis. These results suggest that this combination may be useful to enhance the efficacy and reduce some adverse events of GBM treatment in the future.
