The invention discloses a radix scutellariae soup, and application of an equivalent component group of the radix scutellariae soup to improvement of the chemosensitivity of the colon
cancer on the
irinotecan. The invention finds that the radix scutellariae soup can be beneficial to remarkably improving the chemosensitivity of the colon
cancer on the
irinotecan, namely, improving the killability ofthe
irinotecan on the the colon
cancer, the inhibiting effect on
colon cancer cell proliferation, and the acceleration on
colon cancer cell apoptosis, so that without remarkably reducing a chemotherapeutic effect of the irinotecan, the administration dosage of the irinotecan is reduced favorably, and the
chemotherapy side effects of the irinotecan is relieved. The invention finds that through a composition prepared from
gallic acid,
scutellarin,
baicalein,
wogonin, glycyrrhizic acid and
oroxylin A in the radix scutellariae soup, the chemosensitivity of the colon cancer on the irinotecan can be remarkably improved, and the
medicine effect is basically consistent to the equivalent dosage of radix scutellariae soup; the find is helpful to develop a composition
medicine with definite development components and controllable quality so as to replace the radix scutellariae soup for assisting colon
cancer chemotherapy, and also helpful to adopt the composition as a
quality control index to control the quality of the radix scutellariae soup.
