Buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) inhibits the synthesis of glutathione (GSH), the major nonprotein sulfhydryl (NPSH) present in most mammalian cells. BSO concentrates from 1 .mu.M to 0.1 mM reduced intracelullar GSH at different rates, while BSO .gtoreq. 0.1 mM (i.e., 0.1-2.0 mM), resulting in inhibitor enzyme saturation, depleted GSH to < 10% of control within 10 h at about equal rates. BSO exposures used in these experiments were not cytotoxic with the-one exception that 2.0 mM BSO/24 h reduced cell viability to .apprx. 50%. However, alterations in either the cell doubling time(s) or the cell age density distribution(s) were not observed with the BSO exposures used to determine its radiosensitizing effect. BSO significantly radiosensitized (ER = 1.41 with 0.1 mM BSO/24 h) hypoxic, but not aerobic, CHO cells when the GSH and NPSH concentrations were reduced to < 10 and 20% of control, respectively, and maximum radiosensitivity was even achieved with .mu.M concentrations of BSO (ER = 1.38 with 10 .mu.M BSO/2 h). Furthermore, BSO exposure (0.1 mM BSO/24 h) also enhanced the radiosensitizing effect of various concentrations of misonidazole on hypoxic CHO cells.
