Cetuximab (Cet) and oxaliplatin (OXA) are used as first-line drugs for patients with colorectal carcinoma (CRC). In fact, the heterogeneity of CRC, mainly caused by K-ras mutations and drug resistance, undermines the effectiveness of drugs. Recently, a hydrophobic prodrug, (1E,4E)-6-((S)-1-(isopentyloxy)-4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl)-5,8-dimethoxynaphthalene-1,4‑dione dioxime (DMAKO-20), has been shown to undergo...
