Abstract:
We reported the synthesis, hypoxic cytotoxic activities and selectivities of 18 new 3-(alkoxymethylamino)-1,2,4-benzotriazine 1,4-dioxides. The synthesized compounds were screened in vitro against 5 cell lines: K562, SMMC-7721, A549, PC-3 and KB in hypoxia and in normoxia. Some of them showed higher or similar cytotoxic activity when compared to tirapazamine. Physico-chemical study showed the positive correlation between hypoxic activity and lipophilicity within a certain range. Preliminary mechanism study on the potent derivatives 4b, 4l and 4m indicated that the cytotoxic activities of these compounds might be mediated by inducing apoptosis.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
