Table 3.

The synergies in cancer multicomponent therapy.

No. Therapeutically Active Agents In Vitro/In Vivo Activity Cancer Type Effect Ref.
1 Bleomycin and tea polyphenols In vitro (SiHa cells) Cervical cancer Reduced cancer cells viability, reduced proliferation, increased apoptosis [78]
2 Ibuprofen and EGCG In vitro (DU-145) Prostate cancer Better growth inhibition, reduced proliferation, increased apoptosis [81]
3 Dasatinib and curcumin In vitro (HCT-116) and in vivo (APCMin+/− mice) Colon cancer Increased inhibition of numerous metastatic processes, improved cell adhesion phenotype of HCT-116 colon cancer cells, regression of intestinal adenomas of 95%, reduced tumor progression, and improved apoptosis [85]
4 Pterostilbene and EGCG In vitro (MIA PaCa-2 and PANC-1) Pancreatic cancer Cell cycle arrest in S-phase in the case of MIA PaCa-2 cells, but not in PANC-1 cells, stimulated mitochondria depolarization and cytochrome-C upregulation in MIA PaCa-2 cells, but not in PANC-1 cells, enhanced antitumoral effects [86]
5 Resveratrol and 5-fluorouracil In vitro (TE-1 and A431) and in vivo (melanoma model) Skin and esophageal cancer Important tumor regression rate after four weeks of treatment, enhanced percentage of apoptotic cells and caspase-3, p53 and cleaved PARP levels, blocking cancer cells growth and induction of apoptosis [97]
