Optimal Drug Synergy in Antimicrobial Treatments
The rapid proliferation of antibiotic-resistant pathogens has spurred the use of drug combinations to maintain clinical efficacy and combat the evolution of resistance. Drug pairs can interact synergistically or antagonistically, yielding inhibitory effects larger or smaller than expected from the drugs' individual potencies. Clinical strategies often favor synergistic interactions because they...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance and synergy in herbal medicine
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious and growing threat to human health. The development of new antibiotics is limited and slow. The tradition of synergy in herbal medicine is being used as a source of research ideas. A literature review of antimicrobial research and plant synergy published in a five year period was carried out using online databases. The in vitro findings were that most...

متن کاملAllosteric cross-talk in chromatin can mediate drug-drug synergy
Exploitation of drug-drug synergism and allostery could yield superior therapies by capitalizing on the immensely diverse, but highly specific, potential associated with the biological macromolecular landscape. Here we describe a drug-drug synergy mediated by allosteric cross-talk in chromatin, whereby the binding of one drug alters the activity of the second. We found two unrelated drugs, RAPT...
متن کاملDrug Synergy – Mechanisms and Methods of Analysis
The term synergy is derived from the Greek syn-ergos, "working together". Synergies have been described in many settings and situations of life, including mechanics, technical systems, human social life, and many more. In all cases, synergy describes the fact that a system, i.e. the combination and interaction of two or more agents or forces is such that the combined effect is greater than the ...
