Abstract: Combinations of diterpenoid triepoxides and anti-proliferative agents are used in a combination therapy to treat hyperproliferative disorders. Anti-proliferative agents of interest include agents active in killing tumor cells, as well as immunosuppressants, and a variety of other agents that reduce cellular proliferation in targeted tissues. Synergistic combinations provide for comparable or improved therapeutic effects, while lowering adverse side effects.

Abstract: Water soluble triptolide prodrugs are used as anticancer agents, and are found to be more effective in vivo, at lower doses, in reducing tumor size than the widely used chemotherapeutic agents 5-fluorouracil and irinotecan.
