Abstract

The metal chelator Triapine^®, 3-aminopyridine-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone, is a potent inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase. EPR spectra consistent with signals from Fe-transferrin, heme, and low-spin iron or cupric ion were observed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from patients treated with Triapine^®. One signal that is unequivocally identified is the signal for Fe-transferrin. It is hypothesized that Fe uptake is blocked by reactive oxygen species generated by FeT₂ or CuT that damage transferrin or transferrin receptor. A potential source for the increase in the heme signal is cytochrome c released from the mitochondria. These results provide valuable insight into the in vivo mechanism of action of Triapine^®.
