| description | Radiosensitizers and radioprotectors are the compounds that modify the radiation therapy treatment. Radiosensitizers make tumor cell more sensitive to radiation therapy which increases the effectiveness of cancer treatment, whereas radioprotectors are the compounds that reduce the damage/spare normal tissue. Several of these compounds have been studied using appropriate biological model system and their efficacy is reported in literature. The main objectives of the bioinformatics database is to bring on single platform for researchers and clinicians. Therefore, we have developed bioinformatics database of radiosensitizers and radioprotectors using information available in PubMed, scientific journals, and other scientific sources. The collected information of these compounds systematically organized on single platform where a user can browse typical information of the compound. The information pertaining to these compounds is mainly on structural features, radiobiological aspects, biological targets, clinical trials, pharmacological aspects, toxicity, etc. Hence, the database would help clinicians, researchers, and scientists for the improvement of radiation therapy treatment. |
