Abstract
Carbonyl scavengers, which have been recognized for their ability to react with reactive carbonyl species, have been implicated as agents that can accelerate or induce the death of abnormal cells without having a parallel effect on normal cells. As such, they are useful therapeutic agents in cases where the acceleration or induction of cell death is desirable, such as in cells where the normal apoptotic pathways have been disrupted and where hyperproliferative cell growth occurs.
