Abstract

Abstract The median-effect equation (MEE) of the mass-action law and the combination index (CI) theorem have been used for quantitative determination of synergism (CI 1) and additive effect (CI = 1) in animals in vivo. Experimental design, the theoretical algorithm and the CompuSyn software simulation have been used to illustrate step-by-step for the combination of two anti-cancer agents, Taxotere and T607 compound, with similar mode of actions of targeting microtubule polymerization, but with distinct chemical structures. These two compounds acted synergistically against human colon carcinoma HCT-116 xenograft tumor in athymic nude mice. In all, only 78 nude mice have been used. The synergy is especially significant (p
