Synergistic Anticancer Effect of Paclitaxel and Noscapine on Human Prostate Cancer Cell Lines

Abstract

Paclitaxel is one of the most common chemotherapeutic drugs used for the treatment of prostate cancer. However, its current clinical utility has been limited due to numerous serious side effects and drug resistance. Noscapine is an antitussive opium alkaloid that showed antitumor activity against a variety of cancer while it has not exhibited severe side effects.
