Synergistic Effect of Garcinol and Curcumin on Antiproliferative and Apoptotic Activity in Pancreatic Cancer Cells

<table>Garcinol and curcumin significantly increased Caspase-3 (a and b) and Caspase-9 (c and d) activity by ~2 to 3 folds in both PaCa cell lines: BxPC-3 (left panel) and Panc-1 (right panel) relative to untreated control after 48 hour treatment. Caspase activity was measured in garcinol- and/or curcumin-treated whole cell extracts using colorimetric assay. *<svg height="11.25" id="M12" style="vertical-align:-0.30096pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 56.150002 11.25" width="56.150002" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
