Macrocyclic nitrogen mustard prodrugs as hypoxia selective anti-cancer agents

The low selectivity of chemotherapy is an ongoing problem in the treatment of cancer. Prodrugs that are activated in vivo provide a therapeutic advantage for selective cytotoxicity. Here we have designed redox-active compounds that are electrochemically reduced in hypoxic (poorly oxygenated) tissue,...
