Anticancer Effect by Combined Treatment of Artemisia annua L. Polyphenols and Docetaxel in DU145 Prostate Cancer Cells and HCT116 Colorectal Cancer Cells.

Polyphenols extracted from Korean L. enhance the anticancer effect of DTX in HCT116 cells by regulating p53 and other signaling pathways, leading to increased apoptotic cell death. This could improve DTX-containing chemotherapy for cancers with wild-type p53.
