ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Introduction According to the reports of world health organization (WHO), over 508 000 women died in 2011 due to breast cancer in worldwide (Global Health Estimates, WHO 2013). Breast cancer is a disease that make challenge for the all of countries in the world in both of the developed and less developed countries [1,2]. Breast cancer patients in Iran is 40 thousand and more

PT

than seven thousand patients are added to this number, yearly. According to the emotional

RI

status of women in family and the importance of the role of women in human society, diseases such as breast cancer, can induced high psychological stress in their families and

SC

communities [3]. So control and therapy of breast cancer is one of the essential challenges in

NU

all the world. Nowadays, there are many types of cancer therapy methods. The types of cancer treatment depend on the type of cancer and how advanced of cancer. Some patients

MA

give only one treatment. But most people have a combination of two or further cancer therapies that known as combination therapy. The combination therapy is one of new and

D

interesting methods in cancer therapy researches. Combinations of multiple drugs in cancer

PT E

treatments are proving more effective than one drug. Combination therapy not only provide a potential solution to addressing the heterogenic tumors but also can solve the drug resistance

CE

issues in cancer treatments[4–7]. Combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with chemotherapy is interesting method in this field of researches[8–10]. Photodynamic therapy

AC

is a new and effective therapy method that can be used for the treatment of various types of cancers. PDT is a form of radiation therapy that composed of three nontoxic elements. By illumination of photosensitizer in the presence of molecular oxygen, reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly singlet oxygen as a cytotoxic species can be induced in tumor cells. The cancer cells would be destroyed by apoptosis or necrosis that switched by ROS, achieving, ultimately, the goal of local treatment with minimum invasion [11–19]. Combination of photodynamic therapy with salicylic acid based chemo therapy, is goal of our study.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Salicylic acid is a mono-hydroxybenzoic acid, a type of phenolic compounds and commonly used as plant hormones in agricultural applications and it is probably best known for use as a key agent in topical anti-acne pharmaceutical products and is used as an anti-inflammatory drug. Salicylic acid is also known for its ability to ease aches and pains and reduce fevers. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as salicylic acid, have been singled out as apoptosis inducing

PT

agents with anti-cancer activity. Kutlu and coworkers reported of anti-tumor activity the

RI

salicylic acid as chemotherapeutic drug, on A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells [20].

In here, the interaction of salicylic acid with methylene blue was investigated using spectrophotometric measurements and a series of combinatorial therapy were examined by

Addition of salicylic acid (stock concentration of SA was 2×10−2 mol.L-1) on MB solution (1×10−6 mol.L-1) makes bathochromic shift in MB maximum absorption spectra and the

As can be seen in figure 2, the obtained plot can be divided to two distinct linear parts. According to the Zhi-Wu reports[24], the interactions with two binding interactions, if the binding strengths in both interactions have clear difference, the Benesi-Hildebrand plot is not linear and its due to the differing binding strengths in two binding interactions. By

considering this fact, the plot can be divided to two linear regions that demonstrated the 1:2

obtained results it is clear that the interaction of salicylic acid with methylene blue is based

on molecular interactions and the electrostatic interactions are the initial forces in salicylic acid binding to methylene blue. At higher concentrations of salicylic acid, the hydrophobic

interactions are the major forces in binding phenomena. In the other words, by further

increasing in salicylic acid concentration, the hydrophobic interactions come important in binding phenomena. Due to the structural properties of salicylic acid, it behaves as an ionic

micelle of dye-drug can produce. At these conditions, the MB can prevent from redox reactions in the cellular penetrations and also the salicylic acid solubilization can improved in mixed form with methylene blue[25]. Red shift in UV-Vis spectra approve this statement due to increasing of hydrophobicity around the microenvironment of methylene blue in the presence of salicylic acid [21]. Also by increasing of SA concentration, the monomeric form of MB is the stable form and dimerization of MB decreased. As reported previously, the lower wavelength shoulder in MB spectra is related to dimeric form of MB. By increasing of

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Viability studies and MTT assay: Cellular effects of various treatments were measured and determined using MTT assay for determination of cell viability after and before of treatments and irradiations.

Determination of dark cytotoxicity used MB and SA compounds:

SC

In order to compare the cytotoxicity effect of MB and SA in the absence of irradiation, the

NU

effect of these compounds on cell viability were determined. Viability of treated cells with different concentrations of MB and SA (24 h incubation at 0, 10, 25, 50 and 75 µg/mL) were

MA

determined at dark. According to the obtained results (Fig. 3), it is clear that the cytotoxicity of salicylic acid is higher than MB in the absence of LED irradiation. The cytotoxicity of MB

D

at used concentration range in the absence of irradiation is negligible while the cytotoxicity of

PT E

combinational experiment is higher than each other. According to the obtained results in spectrophotometric studies, it is due to the equilibration between electrostatic and

CE

hydrophobic forces of each anticancer reactive agent. SA solubilization increased by complexation with MB also SA have preventative effect on MB reduction with

AC

environmental reductants such as NAD(P)H. By considering these effects, the anticancer effectiveness of both of reagents, SA and MB, increase. Dark toxicity experiments are in good agreement with spectroscopic results. Our experiments show that the SA have anticancer effect and can decreases the cell viability (80 %). The anticancer effect of salicylic acid has been reported previously by Kutlu and coworkers[20]. The concentration and dose affect the effectiveness of drugs. The anticancer effect of salicylic acid is dose dependent and can be better in higher concentrations but the side effects of chemotherapy anticancer drugs in higher concentrations make limitation in using higher concentrations. In here we used the 11
