Biochem/physiol Actions

3-Aminopyridine-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (3-AP) is a ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor and iron chelator with anti-tumor activity.
3-aminopyridine carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (3-AP) has a IC50 value of 0.3μM. It exhibits anti-proliferative activity in preclinical models of cancer, such as lung cancer. It also has an ability to increase the cytotoxicity, intracellular uptake and DNA incorporation of gemcitabine in vitro.

For repair of damaged DNA, cells increase de novo synthesis of deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates through the rate-limiting, p53-regulated ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) enzyme. In this study we investigated whether pharmacological inhibition of RNR by 3-aminopyridine-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (3-AP, NSC #663249) enhanced chemoradiation sensitivity

This study assessed the safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and clinical activity of three times weekly i.v. 3-aminopyridine-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (3-AP, NSC #663249) in combination with once-weekly i.v. cisplatin and daily pelvic radiation in patients with gynecologic malignancies. 3-AP is a novel small-molecule inhibitor

Triapine (3-aminopyridine-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone, 3-AP) is currently the most promising chemotherapeutic compound among the class of α-N-heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones. Here we report further insights into the mechanism(s) of anticancer drug activity and inhibition of mouse ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) by Triapine. In addition

The thiosemicarbazones Dp44mT (di-2-pyridylketone-4,4-dimethyl-3-thiosemicarbazone) and triapine have potent antiproliferative activity and have been evaluated as anticancer agents. While these compounds strongly bind iron and copper, their mechanism(s) of action are incompletely understood. A recent report (Rao et al., Cancer Research
