Receptor-DNA binding to target auger electrons for cancer therapy. Final report, August 1, 1993--January 31, 1997

摘要

The goal of this program was to investigate the principle of receptor-DNA binding as a means to target Auger electron radiation for cancer therapy, and thereby to evaluate the potential of non-covalent, high-affinity, Auger electron-emitting ligands binding to a DNA associated molecule, or DNA itself, for cancer therapy. These studies were intended to assess the ability of Auger-emitting estrogens to kill estrogen receptor-positive tumor cells, determine the mean lethal dose, and determine whether they could be effective in vitro and in vivo.
