Cytotoxicity of anthraquinones from the roots of Pentas schimperi towards multi-factorial drug-resistant cancer cells.

abstract：:Fifteen patients with advanced, cisplatin-refractory germ cell tumors (GCT) were treated with iproplatin (CHIP). No objective responses were noted in any of the patients treated. By restricting the entry criteria to heavily pre-treated patients, the identification of new active agents in phase II trials may be hindere...
