Preferred Label : Copper Chloride Formulation;
NCIt synonyms : CuCl2 Formulation;
NCIt definition : A formulation containing the compound copper chloride (CuCl2), that can potentially
be used to enhance Cu levels in cancer cells in order to elevate the antitumor activity
of chemotherapeutic agents that are dependent on Cu for their activity. Upon intravenous
administration of CuCl2, the mineral Cu is selectively taken up by and accumulates
in cancer cells. In the presence of certain chemotherapeutic agents whose mechanism
of action (MoA) is dependent on Cu, this formulation may enhance their cytotoxic activity.;
