banoxantrone

Banoxantrone (AQ4N), a hypoxia-selective cytotoxin prototype, undergoes reduction to AQ4, effectively inhibiting topoisomerase II. It selectively targets and eradicates hypoxic cells through an iNOS-dependent mechanism. This compound demonstrates significant cytotoxicity with its hypoxia-selective action being augmented by radiation.

Banoxantrone-D12 is the deuterium-labeled form of Banoxantrone(T70860), a bioreductive agent that can be metabolically converted to AQ4, a stable compound with DNA affinity and topoisomerase II inhibition properties.

Banoxantrone dihydrochloride (AQ4N dihydrochloride) is a novel hypoxic cytotoxin that selectively kills hypoxic cells through an iNOS-dependent mechanism.

Banoxantrone-D12 dihydrochloride is the deuterium-labeled Banoxantrone dihydrochloride (T10459). Banoxantrone is a bioreductive agent that can be reduced to a stable, DNA-affinity compound AQ4, which is a topoisomerase II inhibitor.
