Tumor cells have decreased ability to metabolize H(2)O(2): Implications for pharmacological ascorbate in cancer therapy

Ascorbate (AscH(−)) functions as a versatile reducing agent. At pharmacological doses (P-AscH(−); [plasma AscH(−)] ≥≈20 mM), achievable through intravenous delivery, oxidation of P-AscH(−) can produce a high flux of H(2)O(2) in tumors. Catalase is the major enzyme for detoxifying high concentrations...
