Organic anion transporters and PI3K–AKT–mTOR pathway mediate the synergistic anticancer effect of pemetrexed and rhein
6 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to explore whether rhein could enhance the effects of pemetrexed (PTX) on the therapy of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to clarify the associated molecular mechanism. Our study shows that rhein in combination with PTX could obviously increase the systemic exposure of PTX in rats, which would be mediated by the inhibition of organic anion transporters (OATs). Furthermore, the...
