Abstrakt: (1) The treatment of metastatic or drug-resistant melanoma is still a significant therapeutic problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anticancer potential of daphnetin (7,8-dihydroxycoumarin) and its combinations with five different cytostatic drugs (mitoxantrone, docetaxel, vemurafenib, epirubicin and cisplatin). (2) The viability, proliferation and cytotoxicity of daphnetin against four human malignant melanoma cell lines were evaluated. The interactions were assessed using isobolographic analysis for the combinations of daphnetin with each of the five cytostatic drugs. (3) Daphnetin showed anticancer activity against malignant melanoma, with IC 50 values ranging from 40.48 ± 10.90 µM to 183.97 ± 18.82 µM, depending on the cell line. The combination of daphnetin with either vemurafenib or epirubicin showed an antagonistic interaction. Moreover, additive interactions were observed for the combinations of daphnetin with cisplatin and docetaxel. The most desirable synergistic interactions for human melanoma metastatic cell lines were observed for the combination of daphnetin with mitoxantrone. (4) The obtained results suggest that daphnetin should not be combined with vemurafenib or epirubicin in the treatment of malignant melanoma due to the abolition of their anticancer effects. The combination of daphnetin with mitoxantrone is beneficial in the treatment of metastatic melanoma due to their synergistic interaction.
