ABSTRACT
The oncological field benefits of extensive medical research and various types of cancer notice improvements, however glioblastoma multiforme remains one of the deadliest cancers in humans with virtually no advance in survival and clinical outcome. Temozolomide, the FDA approved drug for glioblastoma, faces numerous challenges such as resistance and side effects. To overcome these challenges, many combination therapies are currently studied. The present study analyses the effects of temozolomide in combination with doxorubicin on a glioblastoma cell line. Our results showed that both drugs displayed a cytotoxic effect on the studied cells in single administration (55% for 100µM temozolomide at 14 days, 53% for 100µM doxorubicin at 14 days), but without a synergistic effect in dual therapy. Although the results failed to produce the expected effect, they propose new research perspectives in the future.
