Natural product-derived combination therapy for augmenting the anti-cancer drug 5-FU (5-Flurouracil) sensitivity in Human cancers: Calycosin, the major bioactive isoflavonoid in the dry root extract of Radix astragali, decreases the expression of the rate-limiting enzyme of the ‘uracil catabolic pathway’ Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD), increases 5-FU accumulation in cancer cells, augments chemosensitivity, and anti-tumor effect via upregulation of its target gene, 11/January/2017, 8.48 pm

From Research findings to Therapeutic opportunity: The study presented here suggests that Calycosin, by increasing the expression of its target genes, it may: (i) decrease the expression of Dihydropyrimidine […]
