TLDR
Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis showed that, besides the essential pharmacophore (-NHCONHOH), hydrophobicity, molecular size/polarizability, and the presence of an oxygen-containing group at the ortho position (I) were important determinants for the antitumor activities.Abstract:
Thirty Schiff bases of hydroxysemicarbazide (Ar−CHNNHCONHOH) have been synthesized and tested against L1210 murine leukemia cells. The IC50 values were found to be in a range from 2.7 × 10-6 to 9.4 × 10-4 M. A total of 17 out of the 30 compounds had higher inhibitory activities than hydroxyurea (an anticancer drug currently used for the treatment of melanoma, leukemia, and ovarian cancer) against L1210 cells. Six compounds with IC50 values in micromolar range were 11- to 30-fold more potent than hydroxyurea (IC50 = 8.2 × 10-5 M). The partition coefficient (log P) and ionization constants (pKa) of a model compound [1-(3-trifluoromethylbenzylidene)-4-hydroxysemicarbazide, 1] were measured by the shake-flask method, and the measured log P was used to derive Hansch−Fujita π constant of −CHNNHCONHOH. On the basis of the newly derived π and those of other moieties, the partition coefficients (SlogP) of the other 29 compounds were calculated by the summation of π values.

TL;DR: Functional data in a perfused working rat heart model shows that these compounds possess full agonist properties at A2 receptors with 3h having a greater than 1500-fold separation between A2 (coronary vasodilatory) and A1 (negative chronotropic) receptor mediated events.

Mechanism of inhibition of mammalian ribonucleotide reductase by the iron chelate of 1-formylisoquinoline thiosemicarbazone. Destruction of the tyrosine free radical of the enzyme in an oxygen-requiring reaction.
L Thelander,A Gräslund +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the iron chelate of the drug binds at the active site of the enzyme, and then the ferrous form of the chelate reacts with molecular oxygen in a redox process that, via a 1-electron reduction, leads to destruction of the M2 tyrosine radical.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of hydroxyurea.
TL;DR: Further studies are necessary to clarify several aspects of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of hydroxyurea: the effect of age and disease state, concentration-effect relationship, the role of therapeutic drug monitoring, and the mechanisms of renal and nonrenal elimination.

EPR stopped-flow studies of the reaction of the tyrosyl radical of protein R2 from ribonucleotide reductase with hydroxyurea.
TL;DR: Transient nitroxide-like radicals from hydroxyurea have been detected for the first time in the reaction of hydroxyUREa with protein R2 from E. coli and mouse, indicating that 1-electron transfer from hydroXYurea to the tyrosyl radical is the dominating mechanism in the inhibitor reaction.
