Two combination chemotherapy protocols, CMF (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, fluorouracil) and CMFH (CMF plus homoharringtonine), were tested in advanced breast cancer patients. The response rate of CMF was 50% in 44 cases, and that of CMFH was 54.16% in 48 cases; the difference was not significant.
Triple negative breast cancers (TNBC) without BRCA1/2 gene mutation or BRCAness are nowadays the breast malignancies most difficult to treat. Improvement of their treatment, for all phases of the disease, is an important unmet medical need. We analyzed the effect of homoharringtonine (HHT), a
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the multidrug resistance (MDR) reversal activity of schisandrin B (SchB) in transfected human breast cancer cell line MCF-7/MDR1.
METHODS
Human breast cancer cells of the line MCF-7 were cultured and transfected with mdr1 gene so as to establish a P-glycoprotein (P-gp)
Homoharringtonine (HHT) is an ester of cephalotaxine (CET), both of which derive from the Chinese coniferous tree Cephalotaxus hainanensis. HHT inhibited tumor cell growth at molar ranges comparable to established cytostatic drugs, whereas CET was 3-4 orders of magnitude less active. Inhibition
Harringtonine and its derivative homoharringtonine are ester-containing anti-leukemic alkaloids isolated from the tree Cephalotaxus harringtonia. In order to compare their antitumor activity against solid tumors, in vitro culture of fresh tumor cells from 23 patients was carried out with a soft agar
