A method of treating neoplastic disease wherein a patient in need of such treatment is administered an effective amount of a radiation-activated cytotoxin prodrug (RACP) which has low toxicity, which is reducible by reducing agents generated by the radiolysis of water and which, upon reduction, releases a sufficient amount of a cytotoxic effector of sufficient cytotoxic potency to kill tumor cells. The tumor cells are irradiated with ionizing radiation to reduce the prodrug which is present at the locus of the tumor cells to release the cytotoxic effector.
一种治疗肿瘤疾病的方法,其中需要接受治疗的患者被给予低毒性、可通过水的辐解产生还原剂还原的辐射激活的细胞毒素前药(RACP),并在还原时释放足够的细胞毒性作用强度的细胞毒性效应物质以杀死肿瘤细胞。肿瘤细胞接受电离辐射以还原存在于肿瘤细胞区域的前药,以释放细胞毒性效应物质。
