How to use

In Vitro:

By reducing irinotecaninduced diarrhea, hiCE inhibitors (e.g., 4,4'-Dimethoxybenzil, Compound 8) can improve the anti-cancer efficacy of irinotecan. To find effective hiCE inhibitors, a new virtual screening protocol that combines pharmacophore models derived from the hiCE structure and its ligands has been proposed.
