TRIMIDOX Usage And Synthesis

Description

Ribonucleotide reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme for de novo DNA synthesis, is a common target for chemotherapy. Its increased activity in cancer cells is associated with malignant transformation and proliferation. Trimidox is a specific ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor that reduces levels of dGTP and dCTP in HL-60 cells, inducing apoptosis via activation of caspases without altering the cell cycle distribution. Trimidox inhibits growth of human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells with an IC₅₀ value of 35 μM.

Uses

Trimidox is a specific ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor.

Definition

ChEBI: Trimidox is a benzenetriol.
