Hypoxia enhances the antiglioma cytotoxicity of B10, a glycosylated derivative of betulinic acid.

B10 is a glycosylated derivative of betulinic acid with promising activity against glioma cells. Lysosomal cell death pathways appear to be essential for its cytotoxicity. We investigated the influence of hypoxia, nutrient deprivation and current standard therapies on B10 cytotoxicity. The human gli...
