Two potentially complementary approaches to improve the anti-cancer strategy gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (GDEPT) are discovery of more efficient prodrug-activating enzymes, and development of more effective prodrugs. Here we demonstrate the utility of a flexible screening system based on the

NTR (nitroreductase NfsB from Escherichia coli) is a flavoprotein with broad substrate specificity, reducing nitroaromatics and quinones using either NADPH or NADH. One of its substrates is the prodrug CB1954 (5-[aziridin-1-yl]-2,4-dinitrobenzamide), which is converted into a cytotoxic agent; so NTR/CB1954

Revision surgery for loosened hip prostheses is a heavy burden for elderly patients with comorbidity. As an alternative to surgery we performed a study to stabilize the prosthesis by percutaneous cement injection after removing inflammatory tissue with an intraarticular virus-directed
NRH:quinone oxidoreductase 2 (QR2) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of quinones, such as menadione and co-enzymes Q. With the aim of understanding better the mechanisms of action of QR2, we approached this enzyme catalysis via electron paramagnetic
DNA damage and repair mechanism is vital for maintaining DNA integrity. Damage to cellular DNA is involved in mutagenesis, the development of cancer among others.
