Radiotherapy is a common treatment for various cancers, and more than 50% of cancer patients require radiotherapy during the disease treatment. With advances in radiation technology and a better understanding of tumor biology, the efficacy of radiation therapy has gradually improved, and more and more patients have benefited from it. However, even with the use of advanced radiotherapy techniques, there are still many malignant tumor cells with low sensitivity to radiation, leading to the radiation effect is not ideal. To solve this problem, radiosensitizers have received more and more attention. Radiosensitizer is a kind of drug that can enhance the radiosensitivity of tumor cells and improve the effect of radiotherapy. Radiation sensitizers act in a variety of ways, such as killing hypoxic cells, enhancing DNA damage, inhibiting DNA damage repair, and blocking cell cycle progression, making tumor cells more susceptible to radiation damage and death than surrounding normal cells.

MCE designs a unique collection of 41 compounds with definite reported radiosensitization. It can be used for drug combination research in anti-cancer treatment.

MCE Gentamicin, Sterile acts by binding to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome leading to inhibition of protein synthesis and death in susceptible bacteria, mainly for gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.

MCE Kanamycin sulfate (100x), Sterile is an aminoglycoside antibiotic purified from Streptomyces kanamyceticus. It acts by binding to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome and inhibiting protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria.
