3-Aminopyridine-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (3-AP) is a ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor and iron chelator with anti-tumor activity.
3-aminopyridine carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (3-AP) has a IC50 value of 0.3μM. It exhibits anti-proliferative activity in preclinical models of cancer, such as lung cancer. It also has an ability to increase the cytotoxicity, intracellular uptake and DNA incorporation of gemcitabine in vitro.

Thiosemicarbazones are a group of compounds that have received comprehensive investigation as anticancer agents. The antitumor activity of the thiosemicarbazone, 3-amino-2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (3-AP; triapine), has been extensively assessed in more than 20 phase I and II clinical trials. These studies

For repair of damaged DNA, cells increase de novo synthesis of deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates through the rate-limiting, p53-regulated ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) enzyme. In this study we investigated whether pharmacological inhibition of RNR by 3-aminopyridine-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (3-AP, NSC #663249) enhanced chemoradiation sensitivity

The potent ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) inhibitor 3-aminopyridine-2-carboxyaldehyde-thiosemicarbazone (3-AP) was tested as a chemosensitizer for restored cisplatin-mediated cytotoxicity in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Preclinical in vitro platinum-resistant ovarian cancer cell survival, RNR activity, and DNA damage assays were done after cisplatin or

Cervical and vaginal cancers have virally-mediated or mutated defects in DNA damage repair responses, making these cancers sensible targets for ribonucleotide reductase inhibition during radiochemotherapy. We conducted a phase II study evaluating 3× weekly 2-hour intravenous 3-aminopyridine-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (3-AP, 25
