Mammalian cells at mitosis contain chromatin in compacted form and are hypersensitive to ionizing radiation. Previous research had shown some chemicals that induce chromatin compaction within interphase cells act as radiosensitizers. Of these agents, cantharidin (LS-1), which is an inhibitor of protein phosphatases 1 (PP1) and 2A (PP2A), showed good radiosensitizing activity at non-toxic doses. Cantharidin and 13 additional structural analogues (LS-2-14) were tested for their radiosensitizing activity on tumour cells in vitro.
