Synergism

  1. aCombination ratio of two drugs as depicted.
  2. bCI values were determined by isobologram equations: CI = [(D)1/(Dx)1] + [(D)2/(Dx)2], where Dx = Dm[fa/(1-fa)]1/m as described previously29.
  3. cMean CI values were determined by following formula: [CI50 + 2CI75 + 3CI90 + 4CI95]/10. Data represent the average CI value ± SD from two independent assays (n = 2).
  4. dDescription of CI values: synergism (CI ≤ 0.9), additive effect (0.9 < CI < 1.1), and antagonism (CI ≥ 1.1).
