Didox is a ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) inhibitor that inhibits proliferation of and decreased secretion of cytokines IL-6, IFN-g, TNF-a, IL-2, IL-13, IL-10 and IL-4. Didox inhibits proliferation of tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer cells. Didox is an antioxidant that potentiates the cytotoxic profile of doxorubicin.

Acquired tamoxifen resistance develops in the majority of hormone-responsive breast cancers and frequently involves overexpression of the PI3K/AKT axis. Here, breast cancer cells with elevated endogenous AKT or overexpression of activated AKT exhibited tamoxifen-stimulated cell proliferation and enhanced cell motility.
Doxorubicin (DOX) has limited efficacy in colorectal cancer due to multi-drug resistance. Resveratrol (RES) and didox (DID) are polyhydroxyphenols with potential chemosensitizing effects. Herein, we assessed the chemomodulatory effects of RES and DID to DOX in colorectal cancer cells. Equitoxic

The use of adjuvant therapies in cancer treatment is rationalized by potentiating the efficacy and/or protecting from the major side effects of chemotherapeutics. Didox, besides its antioxidant properties, is an inhibitor for DNA synthesis and repair which might recommend its
