Activity of 06-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is well related with drug resistance of tumor cells to chloroethylnitrosoureas (CENUs), because MGMT removes CENU-induced O6-alkyIguanines in DNA by accepting the alkyl group at a cysteine moiety. Inactivation of MGMT is a feasible way to ove
