Induction of DT-diaphorase by 1,2-dithiole-3-thiones and the enhancement of antitumour activity of bioreductive agents

DT-diaphorase is a two-electron reducing enzyme that is an important activator of bioreductive antitumour agents, such as mitomycin C and EO9. DT-diaphorase is highly inducible by a wide variety of compounds, including 1,2-dithiole-3-thiones (D3T's), and these compounds could be used to enhance...
