    Targeting RRM2 by triapine sensitizes glioblastoma to radiotherapy (Virtual Meeting II: E-Posters) -  May 16, 2020 - Abstract #AACRII2020AACR-II_531;    
    Our results demonstrate that RRM2 is overexpressed in glioblastoma and targeting RRM2 with triapine enhances radiation-induced DNA damage leading to radiosensitization of glioblastoma cells. Our findings suggest that triapine is a promising agent for the sensitization of glioblastoma to radiotherapy.

    Effect of 3AP on neuroendocrine tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis and activation of DNA repair pathway (Virtual Meeting II: E-Posters) -  May 16, 2020 - Abstract #AACRII2020AACR-II_525;    
    Our results demonstrated rapid and dose dependent decrease in cyclin D1 expression after Triapine treatment, dose-dependent activation of DNA-PK, the key component of the non-homologous end joining pathway and significant increase in the radiosensitivity of each of the tumor cell lines. In conclusion, our findings provide a rationale for inclusion of Triapine as a radiosensitizer in combination with PRRT in treating NETs.

    Improved activity and paraptosis-induction of anticancer thiosemicarbazones requires high copper(II) complex stability and slow reduction kinetics (Virtual Meeting II: E-Posters) -  May 16, 2020 - Abstract #AACRII2020AACR-II_1295;    
    Triapine, which is currently tested in a clinical phase III trial, is the best-studied thiosemicarbazone (TSC) for anticancer therapy...This intracellular stability of complexes, affects their mechanism of action as well as cell death induction. Overall, this study points out the importance of the redox parameters in order to understand and predict the TSC anticancer activity as well as their mechanism of action and, thereby, will pave the way for the development of improved anticancer agents.

    Journal:  Concentration of Fe(3+)-Triapine in BEAS-2B Cells. (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 21, 2020   
    Here, it is shown that iron from purified Fe-transferrin is transferred to Triapine after the addition of ascorbate. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the EPR method has been used to determine the concentration of an iron antitumor agent in cells.

    Journal:  The thiosemicarbazone MeNNMe induces paraptosis by disrupting the ER thiol redox homeostasis based on protein disulfide isomerase inhibition. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 21, 2019   
    Due to their high biological activity, thiosemicarbazones have been developed for treatment of diverse diseases, including cancer, resulting in multiple clinical trials especially of the lead compound Triapine...Subsequently, we uncover that the copper complex of MeNNMe (a supposed intracellular metabolite) inhibits the ER-resident protein disulfide isomerase, resulting in a specific form of ER stress based on disruption of the Ca and ER thiol redox homeostasis. Our findings indicate that compounds like MeNNMe are of interest especially for the treatment of apoptosis-resistant cancer and provide new insights into mechanisms underlying drug-induced paraptosis.

    Journal:  New Water-Soluble Copper(II) Complexes with Morpholine-Thiosemicarbazone Hybrids: Insights into the Anticancer and Antibacterial Mode of Action. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 29, 2019   
    The lead proligands and Cu(II) complexes displayed higher antiproliferative activity in cancer cells than triapine...Insights into the processes controlling intracellular accumulation and mechanism of action were investigated for 2 and 5, including the role of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) inhibition, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induction and regulation of other cancer signaling pathways. Their ability to moderately inhibit R2 RNR protein in the presence of DTT is likely related to iron chelating properties of the proligands liberated upon reduction.

    Journal:  Ribonucleotide reductase subunit M2 as a novel target for clear-cell renal cell carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) -  May 25, 2019   
    RRM2-siRNAs or Triapine significantly inhibited the cell growth by inducing G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in RCC cells through the attenuation of dNTP pool. The current results provided evidence that RRM2 might act as a novel target for ccRCC, and exploration of nonnucleoside, reversible, small-molecule inhibitors against RRM2 could be promising.

    Journal:  Triapine Radiochemotherapy in Advanced Stage Cervical Cancer. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 7, 2018   
    P3
    New trial results and review presented here suggest that a triapine-cisplatin-radiation combination may offer molecular cell cycle target control to maximize damage in cancers and to minimize injury to normal cells. A randomized trial now accrues patients with regionally advanced stage cervical cancer to evaluate triapine's contribution to clinical benefit after cisplatin-radiation (clinicaltrials.gov, NCT02466971).

    Journal:  Phase I Trial of Triapine-Cisplatin-Paclitaxel Chemotherapy for Advanced Stage or Metastatic Solid Tumor Cancers. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 21, 2017   
    The combination regimen of triapine-cisplatin-paclitaxel resulted in no objective responses; however, five (83%) of six patients treated at the MTD had stable disease between 1 and 8 months duration. This phase I study showed that the combination regimen of triapine-cisplatin-paclitaxel was safe and provides a rational basis for a follow-up phase II trial to evaluate efficacy and progression-free survival in women with metastatic or recurrent uterine cervix cancer.
