Abstract;Bava et al. have recently reported that curcumine and taxol act synergically, and may relieve the side effects by decreasing the usage of taxol. By combined use with other anticancer drugs, it is also shown that curcumine assists the effects of cisplatin and doxorubicin, and enhances the action of vincristine and melphalan by acting in the NF-.KAPPA.B route.
