Biological Activity

[Description]:

Apaziquone (EO-9), an analog of Mitomycin C, is a prodrug that is activated to DNA damaging species by oxidoreductases (particularly NQO1). Apaziquone has the ability to kill aerobic and/or hypoxic cancer cells. Apaziquone, a bioreductive alkylating agent, inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells. Apaziquone significantly reduces oral tumor xenograft volume in immunocompromised NOD/SCID/Crl mice[1][2].
