Abstract

For the purpose of developing new antitumour agents which are more efficacious and have less generalized toxicity than existing ones, the free-radical generation and metal complexation of well known anticancer agents have been studied. Copper(II) ion complexes are readily formed with several members of a class of hydroxyurea derivatives which are known to be effective ribonucleotide reductase inhibitors. E.s.r. measurements and u.v.-visible titration illustrate weak binding for 3,4-dihydroxybenzohydroxamic acid and tight binding in complex formation for gallohydroxamic acid and 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzohydroxamic acid. These data were used in a preliminary investigation of cytotoxicity, and the results are consistent with single phase cell cycle killing.
