Abstract:
Compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein W is selected from the group consisting of ##STR2## Wherein Q is hydrogen or --CH. sub. 2 OR. sup. 1 ; Z is hydrogen or --OR. sup. 1 ; n is 1 or 2; wherein R. sup. 1 are the same or different radicals selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, and ##STR3## where R. sup. 2 is lower alkyl, aryl, or aralkyl; wherein the bond at positions 2' and 3' of structure I may be single or double; or it may be a C-nucleoside attached at 3' position of the sugar; X and Y are the same or different selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, an electron withdrawing group, and a group wherein X and Y taken together form a 6-membered carbocylic aromatic ring, are useful as radiosensitizing agents during x-ray radiotherapy of tumor cells.
