Abstract

Many conventional chemotherapies have indicated side effects due to a lack of treatment specificity and are thus not suitable for long-term usage. Natural health products are well-tolerated and safe for consumption, and some have pharmaceutical uses particularly for their anticancer effects. We have previously reported the anticancer efficacy of dandelion () root and lemongrass () extracts. However, their efficacy on prostate cancer and their interactions with standard chemotherapeutics have not been studied to determine if they will be suitable for adjuvant therapies. If successful, these extracts could potentially be used in conjunction with chemotherapeutics to minimize the risk of drug-related toxicity and enhance the efficacy of the treatment. We have demonstrated that both dandelion root extract (DRE) and lemongrass extract (LGE) exhibit selective anticancer activity. Importantly, DRE and LGE addition to the chemotherapeutics taxol and mitoxantrone was determined to enhance the induction of apoptosis when compared to individual chemotherapy treatment alone. Further, DRE and LGE were able to significantly reduce the tumour burden in prostate cancer xenograft models when administered orally, while also being well-tolerated. Thus, the implementation of these well-tolerated extracts in adjuvant therapies could be a selective and efficacious approach to prostate cancer treatment.

摘要

许多传统化疗方法由于缺乏治疗特异性而存在副作用,因此不适合长期使用。天然保健品耐受性良好且食用安全,其中一些具有药用价值,特别是因其抗癌作用。我们之前报道过蒲公英根和柠檬草提取物的抗癌功效。然而,它们对前列腺癌的疗效以及与标准化疗药物的相互作用尚未进行研究,以确定它们是否适合辅助治疗。如果成功,这些提取物可能会与化疗药物联合使用,以将药物相关毒性风险降至最低,并提高治疗效果。我们已经证明,蒲公英根提取物(DRE)和柠檬草提取物(LGE)均具有选择性抗癌活性。重要的是,与单独使用单一化疗药物相比,在化疗药物紫杉醇和米托蒽醌中添加DRE和LGE可增强细胞凋亡的诱导。此外,口服给予DRE和LGE能够显著减轻前列腺癌异种移植模型中的肿瘤负担,同时耐受性也良好。因此,在辅助治疗中应用这些耐受性良好的提取物可能是一种治疗前列腺癌的选择性且有效的方法。
