| Research Abstract |
We performed screening of about 40 kinds of flavonoid to find novel radiosensitizers derived from plants. From the screening, we found that 2 kinds of flavonoid enhance radiosensitivity of cancer cells and one of the flavonoids (Flavonoid A) has a stronger radiosensitization action to cancer cells compared with normal cells. Furthermore, it is suggested that apoptosis contributes to the radiosensitization. These results show that Flavonoid A is an efficacious radiosensitizer because of its faint cytotoxicity and preferential radiosensitization to cancer cells.
