  • Enhancement of radiotherapy by an exogenous cardiac glycoside
    Publication number: 20050112059
    Abstract: A method for enhancing the radiosensitivity of cells through the administration of an exogenous cardiac glycoside, such as oleandrin. The magnitude of radiosensitization depends on the duration of exposure of the cells to oleandrin prior to irradiation. Treatment of cells with oleandrin increases the sensitivity of the cells to radiation-induced apoptosis. Thus, treatment with oleandrin and radiotherapy effectively lessens the proliferation of tumor cell populations.
