Drug interactions: the importance of looking inside cancer cells

Cancer Discovery
Jeffrey W Clark

Abstract

nab-Paclitaxel increased intratumoral gemcitabine levels by reactive oxygen species-mediated degradation of cytidine deaminase, the rate-limiting enzyme in gemcitabine inactivation. This not only has implications for how this drug combination mediates anticancer effects but also demonstrates the importance of evaluating mechanisms of drug activity within malignant cells.
