PR-104A (1-100 uM) shows antiproliferative potency in a panel of 10 human carcinoma cell lines following 4 hours exposures under aerobic and hypoxic conditions with the lowest IC50 (0.51 μM) in H460 non-small cell lung cancer cells and highest (7.3 μM) in PC3 prostate cells.The phosphate ester PR-104 is rapidly converted in vivo to the alcohol PR-104A, a nitrogen mustard prodrug that is metabolised to hydroxylamine (PR-104H) and amine (PR-104M) DNA crosslinking agents by one-electron reductases in hypoxic cells and by aldo-keto reductase 1C3 independently of oxygen. has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
The phosphate ester “pre-prodrug” PR-104 is well tolerated in mice and converted rapidly to the corresponding prodrug PR-104A. H460 xenografts shows significant sensitivity to PR-104 (total dose 3.2 mmol/kg). has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
