Apigenin is a natural flavonoid compound with proven antitumor activity. However, its precise underlying pharmacological mechanism remains unclear. Oxaliplatin (OXA) is commonly utilized for cancer treatment as a platinum-based chemotherapy drug. However, the utilization of low-dose OXA carries the risk of inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer cells and promoting tumor metastasis, thereby giving rise to potential side effects. The purpose of this study is to investigate the synergistic inhibitory effect of apigenin and OXA and its potential mechanism.
