Cayman Hydrocortisone 21-Hemisuccinate (Sodium Salt); Purity- Gre

Tirapazamine is a hypoxia-activated anticancer agent. It is converted to an oxidizing radical under hypoxic conditions and can induce single- and double-strand breaks in DNA, formation of trapped topoisomerase I- and II-DNA complexes, and other chromosomal aberrations, leading to cytotoxicity.^,, Tirapazamine induces hypoxia-enhanced cytotoxicity in DT40 cells (IC₅₀s = 1.02 and 4.34 μM in hypoxic and normoxic conditions, respectively). It also induces cytotoxicity in HT-1080 and A549 cells in a concentration-dependent manner under hypoxic conditions. In vivo, tirapazamine sensitizes tumors to cisplatin (Item No. ) in a mouse RIF-1 fibrosarcoma tumor model. Tirapazamine (0.08 mmol/kg) also sensitizes tumors to fractionated irradiation in a FaDu hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma mouse xenograft model.
