Increase of DNA radiosensitivity under the effect of reducible nitroimidazoles and nitrofurans

  • 1. AN SSSR, Moscow. Inst. Khimicheskoj Fiziki

Description

It was shown that active radiosensitizers, nitroimidazole and nitrofuran, reduced chemically and enzymatically under anaerobic conditions in the presence of DNA, cause singlestrand breaks in the latter. When this modified DNA is exposed to ionizing radiation the yield of single-strand breaks increases as compared to control (unmodified) DNA
