Biochem/physiol Actions

Didox is a ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) inhibitor that inhibits proliferation of and decreased secretion of cytokines IL-6, IFN-g, TNF-a, IL-2, IL-13, IL-10 and IL-4. Didox inhibits proliferation of tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer cells. Didox is an antioxidant that potentiates the cytotoxic profile of doxorubicin.

Acquired tamoxifen resistance develops in the majority of hormone-responsive breast cancers and frequently involves overexpression of the PI3K/AKT axis. Here, breast cancer cells with elevated endogenous AKT or overexpression of activated AKT exhibited tamoxifen-stimulated cell proliferation and enhanced cell motility.

Doxorubicin (DOX) has limited efficacy in colorectal cancer due to multi-drug resistance. Resveratrol (RES) and didox (DID) are polyhydroxyphenols with potential chemosensitizing effects. Herein, we assessed the chemomodulatory effects of RES and DID to DOX in colorectal cancer cells. Equitoxic
