Increasing radiosensitivity by alleviating tumour hypoxia: a drug screen reveals atovaquone as a clinical candidate

Tumour hypoxia renders cancer cells resistant to cancer therapy, resulting in markedly worse clinical outcomes. To find clinical candidate compounds that reduce hypoxia in tumours, we conducted a high throughput screen for oxygen consumption rate (OCR) reduction and identified a number...
