Several new 1,2,5-oxadiazole N-oxide derivatives and some deoxygenated analogues were synthesized to be tested as potential selective hypoxic cell cytotoxins. Compounds prepared were designed in order to gain insight into the mechanism of action of this kind of cytotoxin. Compounds were tested in oxia and hypoxia and they proved to be non-selective. 3-Cyano-N(2)-oxide-4-phenyl-1,2,5-oxadiazole showed the best cytotoxic activity in oxia. The cytotoxicity observed for these derivatives could be explained in terms of the electronic characteristics of the 1,2,5-oxadiazole substituents. Electrochemical and ESR studies were performed on the more cytotoxic derivative.

D003603 Cytotoxins Substances that are toxic to cells; they may be involved in immunity or may be contained in venoms. These are distinguished from CYTOSTATIC AGENTS in degree of effect. Some of them are used as CYTOTOXIC ANTIBIOTICS. The mechanism of action of many of these are as ALKYLATING AGENTS or MITOSIS MODULATORS.
