Isotopic Labeling Experiments That Elucidate the Mechanism of DNA Strand Cleavage by the Hypoxia-Selective Antitumor Agent 1,2,4-Benzotriazine 1,4-Di-N-oxide

Abstract: The 1,2,4-benzotriazine 1,4-dioxides are an important class of potential anticancer drugs that selectively kill the low-oxygen (hypoxic) cells found in solid tumors. These compounds undergo intracellular one-electron enzymatic reduction to yield an oxygen-sensitive drug radical intermediate that partitions forward, under hypoxic conditions, to generate a highly reactive secondary radical that causes cell killing DNA damage. Here we characterized bioreductively-activated, hypoxia-selective DNA-strand cleavage b… Show more

“…N-oxides also play a significant role in materials chemistry. Many heteroaromatic N-oxides are identified as potential anticancer and antimalarial drugs or reductors of bacterial deposition [5][6][7] and as antitumor agents [8].

“…3-Amino-1,2,4-benzotriazine-1,4-dioxide (ti rapaza mi ne, TPZ) and its analogs are hypoxia-selective anticancer agents ( [1], and references therein). TPZ (1) is enzymatically reduced in a single-electron way to a free radical (2), which forms DNAdamaging species under hypoxic conditions, namely, an oxidizing hydroxyl radical (OH•) ( [2], and references therein), and/or a highly reactive benzotriazinyl radical (3) that abstracts a hydrogen atom from DNA ( [3,4], and references therein) ( Fig. 1).…”

“…The nature of DNA-damaging species is still a matter of debate. In the cell, TPZ is converted into two main relatively nontoxic metabolites, its mono-1-oxide (4), possibly via free radical (2) intermediate [2], and its nor-oxide (6), presumably via 4-oxide (5) intermediate ( Fig. 1) [5].…”

“…Pyridine and quinoline N-oxides find application in regioselective and enantioselective catalysis (Hwang et al, 2014). Many heteroaromatic N-oxides have been identified as potential anticancer (Shen et al, 2014) and antimalarial drugs (Ibrahim et al, 2010), reducers of bacterial deposition (Vanoyan et al, 2010), and antitumour (Chowdhury et al, 2012) and anti-HIV agents (Balzarini et al, 2005). They have also been used in the radiotherapy of cancer (Zię ba-Mizgała et al, 2005).…”
