The enzyme nitroreductase from E. coli can reduce the weak, monofunctional alkylating agent 5-(aziridin-1-yl)-2,4dinitrobenzamide (CB1954) to a potent cytotoxic species that generates interstrand crosslinks in DNA. Nitroreductase therefore has potential as a "suicide enzyme" for cancer gene therapy,
## Abstract ## Background Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is one of the most treatmentβresistant malignancies. Despite all new therapeutic advances, almost all patients develop resistance to treatment and cure is rarely seen. In the present study, we evaluated the antitumor effect of a bici
