BX-795 synergizes NB to chemotherapy doxorubicin. Combination index (CI) studies were performed by performing cell cytotoxicity assays in response to either doxorubicin alone or in combination with BX-795 in four NB cell lines at a ratio of 64:1. (A) SH-SY-5Y. (B) NGP. (C) SK-N-AS. (D) LAN-5. Cytotoxicity IC50 values are indicated next to corresponding treatment curves. (E) Summary of drug synergy values represented as combination index (CI). CI values for the combination of BX-795 and doxorubicin at different effective doses (ED50, ED75, ED90, ED95). CI values were calculated by the Chou-Talalay method for drug interactions. Values of CI < 1, = 1 and > 1 indicate synergism, additive effects, and antagonism, respectively.
