Natural remedies.

-5-Phenoxysulphonyl-l-methyl-4-nitroimidazole (NSC 38087) can act as a sensitizer of hypoxic mammalian cells to radiation in vitro. The degree of sensitization achieved is greater than would be predicted from the drug's electron affinity. Cytotoxicity studies have shown that 5pM NSC 38087 can reduce the surviving fraction of log-phase V79 cells in air at 37°C to 10-2 after 2 h exposure. This to...
