The application of targeted toxins in cancer therapy remains a challenge due to the severe side effects as a consequence of the high systemic doses required. Here, we describe the combined application of a glycosylated triterpenoid (Spn) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted chimeric toxins (SA2E). The cytotoxicity of SA2E on murine TSA tumor cells transfected with human EGFR was enhanced 20,000-fold by low nonpermeabilizing Spn concentrations in a synergistic manner. Subcutaneous application of Spn and SA2E in BALB/c mice hearing a solid TSA cells transfected with epidermal growth factor receptor tumor resulted in 94% tumor volume reduction with a 50-fold lower chimeric toxin concentration compared with pure SA2E treatment. Side effects as monitored by observable complications, body weight, blood parameters: histologic analyses and antibody responses were only moderate and usually reversible.
