Exploiting the sensitivity of cancer cells to reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been suggested as a strategy for the selective elimination of cancer cells. In this study, the ROS-generating sphingolipid safingol was combined with various conventional chemotherapeutics, and the potential synergism of the safingol-based combination regimen was assessed using a panel of cancer cell lines. The IC(50) values of safingol using as a single agent were 1.4-6.3 µM, which are concentrations that are clinically achievable. While synergism was dependent on the drug molar ratios, a 4:1 molar ratio of safingol to conventional chemotherapeutics exhibited a moderate to strong synergism in MDA-MB-231, JIMT-1, SKOV-3, U937 and KB cells, with combination indices ranging from 0.07 to 0.77. Furthermore, the addition of safingol may reduce the concentrations of conventional chemotherapeutics required to achieve 90% cell-kill by 1 to >3 log-folds. A significant… Continue reading

Chinese herbal medicines are often applied as an alternative therapy for viral diseases. However, the development of anti-HIV herbal drugs has proceeded slowly, partly because of the lack of a high-throughput system for screening these drugs. The present study evaluated 16 herbal medicines for anti-HIV activities in vitro and in vivo. Herbal medicines were first screened for the ability to regulate C-X-C receptor 4 (CXCR4) and C-C receptor 5 (CCR5) promoter activities. A single-round pseudotyped HIV-luciferase reporter virus system (HIV-Luc) was used to identify potential anti-HIV mechanisms. CD4+ T cells from healthy volunteers were examined for changes in CXCR4 and CCR5 levels. HIV-1 replication was evaluated by ELISA. Spica Prunellae and Herba Andrographitis were found to down-regulate the activities of both the CXCR4 and CCR5 promoters. Also, Spica Prunellae and Herba Andrographitis (>1000 ?M)… Continue reading
