Abstract
The invention relates to a combination of substances (component I) inducing necrosis in tumors or inflamed tissue with other nontoxic substances ('prodrugs', component II). The enzymes set free by necrotic processes then cleave the nontoxic 'prodrug' into the toxic 'drug', which leads to massive tumor cell death and/or remission of inflammation.
