Abstract | The use of vitamin C (VC) in high doses demonstrates a potent tumor suppressive effect by mediating a glucose-dependent oxidative stress in Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) mutant cancer cells. VC with arsenic trioxide (ATO) is a promising drug combination that might lead to the development of effective cancer therapeutics. Considering that a tumor suppressive effect of VC requires its high-dose administration, it is of interest to examine the toxicity of two enantiomers of VC (enantiomer d-optical isomer D-VC and natural l-optical isomer L-VC) in vitro and in vivo. We show that the combinations of L-VC with ATO and D-VC with ATO induced a similar cytotoxic oxidative stress in Kras |
