Russian Chemical Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

Sonodynamic therapy in combination with antitumor drugs and sonosensitizers (theraphthal and its derivatives) was studied in preclinical testing against malignant tumors. The use of this therapy scheme enhances the destructive effect of ultrasound on tumors, promotes no metastasis, and make therapeutic drugs more bioavailable. The scheme was recommended for clinical use. A solid-phase sonosensitization mechanism was proposed. A possible system of laboratory and in vitro testing for selection of efficient sonosensitizers was outlined.
