Published: April 1992

Various bioreductive drugs that are potent hypoxic cell cytotoxins can also function as effective potentiators of radiation action when administered in vivo post irradiation. There is evidence that a contributory mechanism to this potentiation is enhanced sensitivity to the bioreductive drugs exhibited by cells that are damaged sublethally by radiation.
