Description
CB-1954 is a prodrug that is enzymatically activated to generate an antitumor agent that forms DNA-DNA interstrand crosslinks. In rat Walker 256 carcinoma cells, CB-1954 is reduced by NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) to the cytotoxic derivative 5-(aziridin-1-yl)-4-hydroxylamineo 2 nitrobenzamide, a bifunctional alkylating agent.
Uses
5-Aziridino-2,4-dinitrobenzamide is an anticancer prodrug used in gene therapy research and is known to be activated by NAD(P)H Quinone Oxidoreductase 2.
Uses
Tretazicar is an anticancer prodrug used in gene therapy research and is known to be activated by NAD(P)H Quinone Oxidoreductase 2.
Biochem/physiol Actions
