Artemisia annua L. Polyphenols Enhance the Anticancer Effect of β-Lapachone in Oxaliplatin-Resistant HCT116 Colorectal Cancer Cells.

Combining polyphenols extracted from Korean L. with β-lapachone enhances its anticancer effect on colorectal cancer cells, particularly those resistant to oxaliplatin. This combination inhibits proteins associated with resistance and promotes DNA damage, making it a potential low-toxicity therapy for oxaliplatin-resistant cancer.
