... It is worth mentioning that mounting evidence suggests that metformin could synergize with other molecules or modalities to enhance their cytotoxic capacity. Several studies have shown that combining metformin with other drugs can increase its antitumor effects in HCC, such as sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor empagliflozin [88], aloin [89], antifolates [90], dichloroacetate (DCA) [91], celastrol [92] and systemic hypoxia [93,94]. Zhang et al. developed a new pH-responding magnetic nanocomposite based on reduced graphene oxide that combines cisplatin and metformin to kill HepG2 and Caco-2 cells. ...
