The effects of whole body hyperthermia on the pharmacokinetics and toxicity of the basic 2-nitroimidazole radiosensitizer Ro 03-8799 in mice.

We have investigated the effects of 50 min whole-body hyperthermia (WBH; 15 min equilibration followed by 41 degrees C for 35 min) on the toxicity and pharmacokinetics of the radiosensitizer Ro 03-8799 in mice. WBH markedly reduced Ro 03-8799 LD50/7d from 779 to 259 micrograms g-1 (P less than 0.001...
