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

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

Prodrug activation gene therapy is a developing approach to cancer treatment, whereby prodrug-activating enzymes are expressed in tumour cells. After administration of a non-toxic prodrug, its conversion to cytotoxic metabolites directly kills tumour cells expressing the activating enzyme, whereas the

Nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) are flavohemeproteins that catalyze the oxidation of L-arginine to L-citrulline with formation of the signaling molecule nitric oxide (NO). In addition to their fundamental role in NO biosynthesis, NOSs are also involved in the formation of
