  • On the other hand addition of T-MAS or especially its instant precursor FF-MAS towards the tradition medium reduced cancers cell viability (Fig. 2E) and improved cancer cells level of sensitivity to erlotinib (Fig. 2F G). Used amount these data support the interpretation that sensitization to erlotinib can be connected with perturbation of swimming pools of the sterol intermediate metabolite proximally upstream of SC4MOL in the metabolic pathway.
