Dietary induction of NQO1 increases the antitumour activity of mitomycin C in human colon tumours in vivo

The bioreductive antitumour agent, mitomycin C (MMC), requires activation by reductive enzymes like NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1). We used a novel approach to increase MMC efficacy by selectively inducing NQO1 in tumour cells in vivo. CD-1 nude mice were implanted with HCT116 cells, and fe...
