Application

Tirapazamine has been used to evaluate its cytotoxic effect on U-251 MG (glioblastoma cell line) cell viability.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Under hypoxic conditions, tirapazamine is a potent cytotoxic agent that induces apoptosis by inducing breaks in single and double stranded DNA, as well as chromosomal breaks. The compound sensitizes cells to other ionizing radiation and other cytotoxic agents like cisplatin.
Under hypoxic conditions, tirapazamine is a potent cytotoxic agent..
