    Abstract:
    The radiosensitizing efficacy of SR-2508, a new 2-nitroimidazole, which is less neurotoxic than misonidazole (MISO) was studied using transplantable mammary carcinoma of C3H/He mice. Tumor responses to treatments were evaluated by growth-delay time assay. In single irradiations, the enhancement ratios of 0.5 mmole/kg of MISO and 1.5 mmole/kg of SR-2508, which were equitoxic to C3H/He mice, were 1.42 and 1.84 respectively. In fractionated irradiations with three fractions over two days or five fractions over four days, the enhancement ratios of 1.5 mmole/kg of SR-2508 were 1.40 and 1.34 respectively. On the other hand the enhancement ratios of MISO at the above mentioned dose in respective fractionated irradiations were 1.15 or 1.11. SR-2508 is considered promising as a hypoxic cell radiosensitizer for clinical use.
