Evaluation of two xenobiotic reductases from Pseudomonas putida for their suitability for magnetic nanoparticle‐directed enzyme prodrug therapy as a novel approach to cancer treatment

Abstract Directed enzyme prodrug therapy (DEPT) is a cancer chemotherapy strategy in which bacterial enzymes are delivered to a cancer site before prodrug administration, resulting in prodrug activation at the cancer site and more localized treatment. A major limitation to DEPT is the poor effective...
