Abstract Objectives: EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) therapies such as erlotinib and gefitinib are approved for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the high incidence of acquired resistance to these EGFR-TKIs may preclude their effectiveness. Piperlongumine (PPL), an extract from the long pepper fruit (Piper longum), has been shown to possess anticancer properties. The purpose of the study was to investigate piperlongumine as an anticancer agent and to study a combination treatment approach with EGFR-TKIs against lung cancer cells. Methods: Anticancer efficacy of PPL, erlotinib (ERL), gefitinib (GEF), and cisplatin (CIS) were investigated in… More >
