Abstract

The effect of combining RDC-11 (a new ruthenium organometallic complex) and fast neutrons (high-LET radiations) has been evaluated in RDM4 and U-87 tumor cell lines. After co-treatment, a substantial reduction of cell growth was recorded, which appears not to be correlated with the induction of apoptosis.
