The invention relates to a
drug combination of
annona squamosa lactone compounds and
sorafenib (SF), which is characterized in that four common human
hepatoma cell lines HepG2, HuH7, MHCC97H and HCCLM3 are used as research objects, and the
drug combination effect among different components is evaluated by using an MTT (3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 3-diphenyltetrazolium
bromide) method and
Synergy Finder
software. The combination of the compound and SF shows an obvious synergistic inhibition effect on the growth of hepatoma
carcinoma cells, and meanwhile, the pharmaceutical composition can synergistically reduce the
ATP level of the hepatoma
carcinoma cells and induce hepatoma
carcinoma cell apoptosis. Pharmacodynamic experiments show that the compounds annonacin and SF can synergistically inhibit
tumor growth and induce
tumor cell apoptosis, and have no obvious
toxicity to normal organs of nude mice at a low dosage. In addition,
transcriptome analysis predicts that the anti-
liver cancer target of the annonacin is possibly related to the SLC33A1
gene. The method can be used for preparing anti-hepatoma drugs and researching related mechanisms. The annona
lactone compound disclosed by the invention is derived from annona montana Macf. Which is an annona
plant, namely annona montana Macf.
