title: [Enhancement by metronidazole of the antitumor effect of cyclophosphane].
abstract: In experiments on mouse tumors (sarcoma-180, Ehrlich ascites tumor and hemoblastosis La) the ability of metronidazole to enhance the antitumor chemotherapeutic action of cyclophosphane was investigated. It was shown that metronidazole (1000 mg/kg) injected 60 min before cyclophosphane administration can elicit an almost two-fold increase in its radioprotective efficiency. The chemosensitizing effect of metronidazole depends on the drug concentration and the tumor type.
