Overcoming the challenges of drug resistance through combination drug delivery approach
Anticancer and antimicrobial drug resistances are the most important problems that decrease the overall success of drug treatment in the clinic. The combination of two or more different kinds of drugs in clinical practice has been generally accepted as a

Activity of oxantel pamoate monotherapy and combination chemotherapy against Trichuris muris and hookworms : revival of an old drug [PDF]
BACKGROUND: It is widely recognized that only a handful of drugs are available against soil-transmitted helminthiasis, all of which are characterized by a low efficacy against Trichuris trichiura, when administered as single doses.

Systems analysis of drug-induced receptor tyrosine kinase reprogramming following targeted mono- and combination anti-cancer therapy [PDF]
The receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are key drivers of cancer progression and targets for drug therapy. A major challenge in anti-RTK treatment is the dependence of drug effectiveness on co-expression of multiple RTKs which defines resistance to single ...

Rational deployment of antimalarial drugs in Africa: should first-line combination drugs be reserved for paediatric malaria cases? [PDF]
Artemisinin-based combination therapy is exerting novel selective pressure upon populations of Plasmodium falciparum across Africa. Levels of resistance to non-artemisinin partner drugs differ among parasite populations, and so the artemisinins are not ...
