Zusammenfassung:There is provided the use as reducing agents of alpha-hydroxycarbonyl compounds capable of forming cyclic dimers. There is also provided corresponding methods of reducing reducible compounds, particularly reduction-activated prodrugs . Examples of the alpha-hydroxycarbonyl compounds used are dihydroxyacetone, glycolaldehyde , glyceraldehyde, erythrose, xylulose, erythrulose or 3-hydroxy-2-butanone. La présente invention concerne l'utilisation de composés a-hydroxycarbonyle en tant qu'agents réducteurs capables de former des dimères cycliques. La présente invention concerne également les procédés correspondants destinés à réduire des composés réductibles, en particulier des pro-médicaments activés par réduction.
