In vivo 31P Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy demonstrates that A2780 ovarian cancer xenografts treated with the monocarboxylate transporter-1 (MCT-1) inhibitor, lonidamine (LND), exhibits a sustained and tumor-selective decrease in delta pHi and pHe of 0.56 0.10 (p < 0.05) and 0.34 0.23 (p = 0.05) respectively. Tumor bioenergetics (βNTP/Pi) decreased by 70.0 22% (p < 0.05) and integrated intensities of the steady-state tumor lactate were increased after 40 min. (p < 0.05) relative to the baseline level following LND administration. The decline of pHi and bioenergetics could be critical parameters for chemo- and thermo-sensitization of ovarian cancers.
