摘要:
A method for enhancing the radiosensitivity of cells through the administration of an exogenous cardiac glycoside, such as oleandrin. The magnitude of radiosensitization depends on the duration of exposure of the cells to oleandrin prior to irradiation. Treatment of cells with oleandrin increases the sensitivity of the cells to radiation-induced apoptosis. Thus, treatment with oleandrin and radiotherapy effectively lessens the proliferation of tumor cell populations.

Provided herein is a method of radiosensitizing a tumor in a subject, which comprises administering to the subject a radiosensitizing amount of an indazolpyrrolotriazine of Formula I. Also provided herein is a method of treating a tumor in a subject, which comprises the steps of administering to the subject a radiosensitizing amount of an indazolpyrrolotriazine of Formula I, and a therapeutically effective fraction of radiation.
摘要:
Methods and pharmaceuticals for inhibiting or preventing metastasis formation in animals, including humans, having primary tumors, through the administration of phosphorothioates including their thiol and disulfide metabolites are disclosed. These compounds stimulate angiostatin levels, inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and stimulate manganese superoxidase dismutase (MnSOD). Phosphorothioates, of which amifostine is an example, can be administered as a combination therapy with traditional cancer therapies, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, immunotherapy, hormone therapy and gene-therapy. Inhibition or prevention of metastasis by phosphorothioates is independent of tumor type, including adenocarcinomas and sarcomas.
