Natural product-derived combination therapy for augmenting the anti-cancer drug 5-FU (5-Flurouracil) sensitivity in Human cancers: Bergapten (5-methoxypsoralen), a natural psoralen derivative present in many fruits and vegetables, 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, 4/January/2017, 10.01 pm

From Research findings to Therapeutic opportunity: The study presented here suggests that Bergapten (5-methoxypsoralen), by increasing the expression of its target genes, it may: (i) decrease the expression […]
