The nitroacridine derivative nitracrine is a potent hypoxia-selective cytotoxin for mammalian cells in culture.In an attempt to modulate the degree of hypoxia selectivity among this class of compounds, we have studied a series of side-chain analogues of nitracrine.Both the electronic and steric properties of the side chain are shown to be important in determining the hypoxia selectivity of the compounds, by controlling the degree of aminoacridine/iminoacridan tautomerism.Studies with the repair-defective Chinese hamster cell line UV4 indicate that the cytotoxicity ofall the compounds is due to nitro group reduction and subsequent macromolecular adduct formation.However, compounds such as the 9-amino derivative, which exist totally as the aminoacridine tautomer, form much less lethal lesions than the 9-alkylamino derivatives, which exist to varying degrees in the iminoacridan conformation.For the whole set of compounds, the degree of hypoxia-selective cytotoxicity correlates well with the proportion of iminoacridan tautomer present.
