Table 3. Combination indices of curcumin with colchicine, paclitaxel and vinblastine over a course of 96 hours.
Curcumin | ||||
CI (ΣFIC15) | CI (ΣFIC90) | |||
48 hours | 96 hours | 48 hours | 96 hours | |
Colchicine | 6.757 | 2.513 | ND* | ND* |
Paclitaxel | 1.031 | 1.422 | 1.645 | 1.036 |
Vinblastine | 0.559 | 0.919 | 1.640 | 0.555 |
ND* not determined: ΣFIC90 for curcumin-colchicine combination could not be determined because the maximum growth inhibition of treated parasites, even after 96 hours, was 35%.
