摘要
Described herein are anti-cancer compounds composed of a macromolecule comprising (1) at least one anti-cancer agent directly or indirectly bonded to the macromolecule and (2) at least one high Z element directly or indirectly bonded to the macromolecule that is capable of producing Auger electrons upon exposure to X-ray energy. When the compounds are exposed to low energy X-ray (e.g., kilo electron volts KeV) Auger electrons are produced by the high Z elements present in the compound. Because lower energy is required when compared to typical radiotherapy, which uses therapeutic X-ray energy in the million electron volt range (MeV), the subject experiences lower collateral damage when compared to radiation therapy. Additionally, the presence of the anti-cancer agent provides a second mechanism for killing cancer cells. Methods for making and using the anti-cancer compounds are also described herein.
