TABLE 3.
IC | CI with the following SSG/IFN-α ratio:
|
|
---|---|---|
1:5 | 1:20 | |
50% | 0.60 | 0.60 |
75% | 0.55 | 0.39 |
90% | 0.52 | 0.26 |
CalcuSyn analysis provides CI values to determine potential drug additivity. The results showed that SSG combined with IFN-α is synergistic, with CI values ranging from 0.32 to 0.60. The CI determines the degree of the interaction of drugs; e.g., CIs of <1, 1, and >1 are indicative of synergistic, additive, and antagonistic effects, respectively.
