bleomycin-A2 and were more cytotoxic than the corresponding compounds lacking the DNA binding unit. On exposure of a mixture of cells and prodrugs to hypoxia and then air, the prodrug containing the nitrohistidine unit was not bioreductively activated but the prodrug having an N-oxide group was bioreductively activated. This result represents a novel approach to the improvement of the therapeutic ratio of
抗癌药博来霉素的金属络合区域的两个吡啶类似物和两个相关但已失活的前药已与作为DNA结合单元的2,6-二苯基吡啶衍生物连接。2,6-二苯基吡啶系统在结构上与博来霉素的细胞毒性的已知放大器有关。发现缀合物比博来霉素-A2更牢固地结合DNA,并且比缺乏DNA结合单元的相应化合物更具细胞毒性。当细胞和前药的混合物暴露于低氧然后暴露于空气中时,含有硝基组氨酸单元的前药未被生物还原活化,但是具有N-氧化物基团的前药被生物还原活化。该结果代表了改善博来霉素类似物的治疗率的新方法。
