摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the clinical applications of quinone reductase–mediated nitro-reduction. The reductase enzyme NQO1 catalyzes reduction quinines to their hydroquinone form. has a number unusual properties. It can use either NADPH or NADH with equal activity as cofactor, and it been shown that simple reduced nicotinamide derivatives also act cofactors for this enzyme. examines nitroreductase three enzymes, NQO1, E. coli B and, in particular, NQO2. properties these enzymes are particularly relevant treatment cancer, rationale approach is described chapter. With NQO2, an endogenous human discovered significant bioactivate proven anti-tumor prodrug designated CB 1954. Prodrugs activated by nitro-reduction cancer therapy nitroreductase. describes functional characterization truncated NQO1/NQO2 chimeric preparations. Bioactivation 1954 biodistribution NQO2 humans explained
