Abstract excerpt
The DNA repair enzyme O6-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT) is a major determinant of glioma resistance to alkylating agents. Several strategies have been used to induce sensitization to alkylator-based treatments, including the direct MGMT inhibitor O6-benzylguanine (BG). However, replenishment of MGMT is often observed after the withdrawal of combined schedules of temozolomide (TMZ) and BG, thus preventing...
