Abstract
The subject invention provides for novel synergistic compositions useful for inactivating viruses or inducing apoptosis in tumor cells and for treating cancer or retroviral infections. Generally, the compositions comprise one or a plurality of ligands that oxidatively attack a zinc finger of pADPRT in combination with one or a plurality of agents selected from the group consisting of: agents that decrease cellular levels of glutathione and ligands that non-covalently bind to the nicotinamide site of pADPRT but do not effect zinc ejection from a zinc finger of pADPRT.
