Abstract :

Objective: The objective of the present investigation was to examine  whether ethyl acetate fraction from Andrographis paniculata Nees (EAA) synergizes the therapeutic potential of  vincristine (VCR) against different human cancer cell lines (T47D, HeLa, and WiDr). Materials and Methods: MTT assay was used to measure the growth inhibitory effect of the  combination. Synergistic efficacy was subjected to median effect analysis with nonexclusive model as previously described by Chou and Talalay. Result: IC50 of EAA were 18.486 µg/ml in HeLa cells line, 13.467 µg/ml in Widr cells line and 21.618 µg/ml in T47D cells line. EAA and VCR combined as a cocktail, synergistically inhibited the growth of cancer cells in vitro, with Combination Index value (CI) ranging from 0.975 to 0.224 in T47D cells line, 0.447 in HeLa cells line and 0.887 to 0.326 in WiDr cells lines. Conclusion: EAA and VCR, combined as a cocktail, showed synergism in inhibiting the growth of human breast cancer  cells (T47D) in vitro.
