Unleashing the Power of Radiotherapy - Enhancing Tumor Oxygenation with Next-Gen Radiosensitizers
TS-062384 — , T2018-092, T2018-354, & T2020-216 This technology provides novel radiosensitizer compounds that are derivatives of papaverine designed to enhance tumor oxygenization without PDE-related side effects.
Papaverine is an FDA-approved potent inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I. Papaverine’s mitochondrial complex I inhibition has been shown to be responsible for increased oxygenation and enhanced radiation response. However, papaverine is also a phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) inhibitor and its…
