TABLE 4

Induction of radiosensitization in the DC3F and DC3F/C10 cells by camptothecin (CPT) and the INDO derivatives F1 and F7 Radiation dose at 10% Survival is determined graphically from clonogenic survival assays conducted with cells pre-incubated with drug for 1 h followed by treatment with 0-, 2.5-, 5-, or 7.5-Gy doses of radiation. SER indicates the radiation dose at 10% survival without drug pretreatment divided by radiation dose at 10% survival with 30-min drug pretreatment.
