Application

Tirapazamine has been used to evaluate its cytotoxic effect on U-251 MG (glioblastoma cell line) cell viability.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Under hypoxic conditions, tirapazamine is a potent cytotoxic agent that induces apoptosis by inducing breaks in single and double stranded DNA, as well as chromosomal breaks. The compound sensitizes cells to other ionizing radiation and other cytotoxic agents like cisplatin.

To assess the contribution of hypoxia and bone marrow-derived cells to aggressive outgrowth of micrometastases after liver surgery. Liver surgery generates a microenvironment that fosters aggressive tumor recurrence. These areas are characterized by chronic hypoxia and influx of bone marrow-derived

Tirapazamine is the second clinical anticancer drug (after porfiromycin) that functions primarily as a hypoxia-selective cytotoxin. Hypoxic cells in tumours are relatively resistant to radiotherapy and to some forms of chemotherapy and are also biologically aggressive, thus representing an important

Tirapazamine (TPZ, SR 4233, WIN 59075, 3-amino-1,2,4-benzotriazine 1,4-dioxide, Tirazone) is the lead compound in the benzotriazine di-N-oxide class of bioreductive anticancer agents. Extensive preclinical testing has established that the mechanism for the selective toxicity towards hypoxic cells is the result

Expert opinion on investigational drugs, 18(1), 77-87 (2008-12-05)
Tumor hypoxia remains one of the greatest challenges in the treatment of solid tumors, as cancer cells in these regions are resistant to killing by radiation therapy and most anticancer drugs. Tirapazamine (TPZ) is a newer class of cytotoxic drugs
