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.
