Synergistic effect of 5-fluorouracil and the small molecule Wnt/β-catenin inhibitor iCRT3 on Caco-2 colorectal cancer cells in vitro by Smarslik, Maren, Inal, Jameel

“…Subsequently, the drugs were combined in different ways, and drug combination index (DCI) calculations were performed to evaluate their interaction. iCRT3 was found to be 2.45-fold more potent than 5-FU (p = 0.1982). Drug combination significantly increased the IC50 compared to 5-FU, with a 40.95-fold increase (p = 0.0022) when 5-FU was fixed (2.56 μM) and a 43.5-fold increase (p = 0.0023) when iCRT3 was fixed (2.41 μM). …”
