The present invention relates to the use of nanodiamonds as drugs generating free radicals, in particular for treating tumours. The invention is based on generating free radicals on the surface of the nanodiamonds when they are exposed to radiation, for example ionising radiation. In order to increase the effectiveness of the nanodiamonds, same can be complexed with a radiosensitising agent, such as a chemical molecule or an interfering RNA targeting a repairing gene. |
