Quantitative Methods for Assessing Drug Synergism [PDF]
Two or more drugs that individually produce overtly similar effects will sometimes display greatly enhanced effects when given in combination. When the combined effect is greater than that predicted by their individual potencies, the combination is said to be synergistic.

Drug Synergism as the Basis of Rational Neuroprotection [PDF]
Optimization of the choice of neuroprotective therapy regimens in patients with cerebrovascular diseases (CVD), taking into account the synergism of drug interactions, is a basic approach in clinical practice. Unfortunately, modern pharmacology has no unified way of establishing synergistic spectra of drug actions, which would allow systematic ...

An R Package for Assessing Drug Synergism/Antagonism [PDF]
Synergistic and antagonistic drug interactions are important to consider when developing mixtures of anticancer or other types of drugs. Boik, Newman, and Boik (2008) proposed the MixLow method as an alternative to the Median-Effect method of Chou and ...

Supramolecular assemblies of rifampicin and cationic bilayers: preparation, characterization and micobactericidal activity [PDF]
Background Cationic bilayers based on the inexpensive synthetic lipid dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODAB) have been useful as carriers for drug delivery, immunoadjuvants for vaccines and active antimicrobial agents.

Current cancer therapy includes a variety of strategies that can comprise only one type of treatment or a combination of multiple treatments. Chemotherapy is still the gold standard for cancer therapy, though sometimes associated with undesired side ...

In the study of the drug-receptor interaction, the analysis of the mode of drugantagonism had been the objects of the principal interests, and the drug-synergism had only been remarked in passing (1). Veldstra (2) mentioned the relation between drug receptor and synergism in his extensive review on “Synergism and Potentiation”.

New Trends for Antimalarial Drugs: Synergism between Antineoplastics and Antimalarials on Breast Cancer Cells [PDF]
Chemotherapy plays a key role in breast cancer therapy, but drug resistance and unwanted side effects make the treatment less effective. We propose a new combination model that combines antineoplastic drugs and antimalarials for breast cancer therapy ...
