pubmed:abstractText
The synthesis of a 2-nitroimidazol-5-ylmethyl carbamate prodrug 10 of the potent minor groove alkylating agent amino-seco-CBI-TMI 3 is described. Chemical, radiolytic, and enzymic reductions of a model 2-nitroimidazol-5-yl carbamate 8 show release of the amine effector upon reduction. Prodrug 10 gives a ten fold increase in cytotoxicity against human ovarian carcinoma SKOV3 cells in the presence of E. coli B nitroreductase (NTR) and a 21-fold increase in cytotoxicity against a SKOV3 cell line (SC3.2) transfected with the gene for NTR. The cytotoxicity of 10 increased 15- to 40-fold under hypoxia. Prodrug 10 has significant potential as a prodrug for use in ADEPT and GDEPT applications, and as a hypoxia-selective cytotoxin.
