Abstract
Investigati on of natural compounds showing specific toxicity to tumor cells aims to improve the efficacy
of available therapies. Our previous research demonstrated the cytotoxic acti vity of the bacterial pigment violacein
against rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cell lines. RMS is the most common soft tissue malignancy in children. In this
study, we evaluated the cytotoxicity of violacein on RMS cells in combinati on with conventi onal chemotherapeutics
doxorubicin, irinotecan, and vinflunine
