The selective cytotoxicity which Ro-07-0582 exhibits towards hypoxic cells is strongly temperature-dependent. This cytotoxicity is reduced by the radical scavenger cysteamine, suggesting that nitro radicals or nitroso intermediates are involved in cell killing by the drug. Chromosome aberrations are not induced by Ro-07-0582 even when the surviving fraction is reduced to 0-01.
Ro-07-0582对缺氧细胞所表现出的选择性细胞毒性强烈依赖于温度。自由基清除剂半胱胺可降低这种细胞毒性,这表明硝基自由基或亚硝基中间体参与了该药物的细胞杀伤过程。即使存活分数降至0.01,Ro-07-0582也不会诱导染色体畸变。
