Oxidative activation of indole-3-acetic acids to cytotoxic species- a potential new role for plant auxins in cancer therapy.
- Abstract:
-
Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and some derivatives can be oxidised by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to cytotoxic species. Upon treatment with IAA/HRP, liposomes undergo lipid peroxidation, strand breaks and adducts are formed in supercoiled plasmid DNA, and mammalian cells in culture lose colony-forming ability. IAA is only toxic after oxidative decarboxylation; no effects are seen when IAA or HRP is incubated independently in these systems at equivalent concentrations. Toxicity is similar in bot...
