Tubulin-binding agents are potent cytotoxic drugs that are largely used to treat haematological malignancies and solid tumours. In this issue of British Journal of Pharmacology, doxorubicin was shown to decrease the activity of vincristine when administered simultaneously, unless cell cycle arrest mechanisms were disrupted. This observation emphasizes the need to better explore schedule-dependent antagonist effects in anticancer drug combination therapies.

微管结合剂是一种强效细胞毒药物,主要用于治疗血液恶性肿瘤和实体瘤。在本期《英国药理学杂志》中,阿霉素与长春新碱同时给药时,会降低长春新碱的活性,除非阻断细胞周期阻滞机制。这一观察结果强调需要更好地探索抗癌药物联合治疗中时相依赖性拮抗剂效应。
