Abstract:The main goal of this research was to evaluate the reduction activity of a novel Nitrobenzazolo[3,2-a]quinolinium (NBQ48) compound under hypoxic environment thru the formation of a fluorescent metabolite and further to evaluate the activity of the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) reducatase in the reduction of these compounds. To evaluate the reduction of NBQ48 and the formation of its fluorescent metabolite two (2) tumor cell lines in culture Toledo (lymphoma) and A431 (endothelial) where treated under nitrogen or ar… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
