Hyperthermia Enhances the Cytotoxicity against Hypoxic Cells of RP-170, a New 2-Nitroimidazole Nucleoside Hypoxic Cell Sensitizer

Abstract: The effect of the new hypoxic cell sensitizer, 1[2-hydroxy-1(hydroxymethyl)-ethoxy]methyl-2-nitroimidazole (RP-170), combined with heat against EMT6/KU cells, was determined under conditions of in vitro hypoxia. Heat-induced cytotoxicity for the EMT6/KU cells was increased to a greater extent under conditions of hypoxia and a normal pH of the medium. Hypoxia also reduced the surviving fraction of the cells treated either with RP-170 alone or with RP-170 plus heat. The concomitant treatment of RP-170 and heat i… Show more

“…Radiosensitizers such as radiolabeled nitroimidazoles were reported with chemotherapy to kill tumor and monitor the effect of hyperthermia and hypoxia by MRI, PET, CT, SPECT [152][153][154][155][156][157][158]. Recently, technical advances in the field of multimodal multifunctional use of nanoparticles, now radiolabeled […”

“…We established a cell line (KSE-1) of human ESCC and examined the basic evidence regarding the effects of hyperthermia itself and its synergic effects on chemotherapy and radiotherapy 30) . We also performed in vitro examinations to evaluate the efficacy of hyperthermia regarding the timing of anticancer drug administration 31) and application of new sensitizers [32][33][34] . In addition, we recently examined the mechanism underlying the DNA damage mediated by the ATR-Chk1 and ATM-Chk2 pathways via a biomolecular approach 35) .…”
