Product Description
PR-104, a novel, potent, non-toxic, small-molecule, hypoxia-activated, 3,5-dinitrobenzamide nitrogen mustard, is a drug from the class of hypoxia-activated prodrugs (HAPs), which is being researched as a potential anti-cancer therapeutic agent. It is a phosphate ester “pre-prodrug” that is rapidly converted to the HAP PR-104A in the body. PR-104A is in turn metabolised to reactive nitrogen mustard DNA crosslinking agents in hypoxic tissues such as found in solid tumours. Following initial clinical studies, it was discovered that PR-104A is also activated by the enzyme AKR1C3, independently of hypoxia. Hypoxia in the bone marrow of patients with leukaemia, and high activity of AKR1C3 in some leukaemia subtypes has led to interest in clinical trials of PR-104 in relapsed refractory acute leukaemias

PR-104 is a novel, non-toxic, small-molecule, hypoxia-activated 3,5-dinitrobenzamide nitrogen mustard pre-prodrug. It is a selective hypoxia-activated DNA cross-linking agent with potential antitumor activity. Upon intravenous administration, it is converted efficiently to the more lipophilic dinitrobenzamide mustard alcohol PR-104A.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PR-104 targets DNA in hypoxic tumor cells. As a hypoxia-activated prodrug, it is selectively activated in the low-oxygen environment of solid tumors to generate active DNA cross-linking species. The active metabolite PR-104A forms DNA cross-links, inhibiting DNA replication and repair and leading to cell death.
ln Vitro
In anoxic rather than aerobic settings, PR-104 (80 μM; 1 h; SiHa cells) exhibits a higher inhibitory impact on radiation-induced DNA single-strand breaks. Ser139 on histone H2AX (gH2AX) is phosphorylated by PR-104 (100 μM; 1 hour; SiHa cells). Following radiation, PR-104 (0.266 mmol/kg; 18 h; SiHa cells) shown efficacy against hypoxic cells. Different cell lines have different potencies of PR-104; H460 cells have the lowest IC50 (0.51 μmol/L) while PC3 prostate cells have the highest (7.3 μmol/L) [1].
In vitro, PR-104 is a hypoxia-activated DNA cross-linking agent that shows marked activity against human tumor cell lines under hypoxic conditions. The compound is non-toxic under normoxic conditions but becomes cytotoxic in hypoxic environments, providing selective targeting of tumor cells.
ln Vivo
The plasma area under the curve is increased by PR-104 (0.56 mmol/kg; iv or ip; 0~2 hours). PR-104 exhibits antitumor activity (0.23 mmol/kg; intraperitoneal; 100 days) [1].
In vivo, PR-104 has demonstrated marked antitumor activity against human tumor xenografts, both as monotherapy and in combination with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The compound's hypoxia-activated mechanism provides selective toxicity to hypoxic tumor regions, which are typically resistant to conventional therapies.
Enzyme Assay
For enzyme activation assays, PR-104 is incubated with bioreductive enzymes (e.g., cytochrome P450 reductases or nitroreductases) under hypoxic conditions. The conversion of PR-104 to active metabolites such as PR-104A is monitored by HPLC or mass spectrometry. DNA cross-linking is assessed by agarose gel electrophoresis or comet assays.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays are performed using human tumor cell lines under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Cells are treated with PR-104 at various concentrations for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or clonogenic assays. The hypoxia selectivity ratio (hypoxic IC50 / normoxic IC50) is calculated to determine the compound's therapeutic index.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: CD-1nu/nu mouse
Doses: 0.56 mmol/kg (pharmacokinetic/PK/PK analysis)
Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) (iv)injection or intraperitoneal (ip) injection

In vivo studies are conducted in immunocompromised mice bearing human tumor xenografts. PR-104 is administered intravenously at doses determined by preclinical toxicology studies. Tumor volume is measured periodically, and tumor hypoxia is assessed using pimonidazole staining or other hypoxia markers. Combination studies with radiotherapy or chemotherapy may be performed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
PR-104 (molecular weight: C14H20BrN4O12PS) is a small-molecule prodrug with favorable pharmacokinetic properties. Upon intravenous administration, it is converted efficiently to the active metabolite PR-104A. The compound's pharmacokinetics are characterized by rapid conversion and distribution to tumor tissues.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Preclinical toxicity studies have shown that PR-104 is non-toxic under normoxic conditions, with toxicity limited to hypoxic tumor tissues. This selective toxicity profile provides a favorable therapeutic index. The compound has been evaluated in preclinical models for safety and tolerability.

Additional Infomation
PR-104, a nitrogen mustard prodrug, is a non-toxic, small-molecule, hypoxia-activated 3,5-dinitrobenzamide nitrogen mustard prodrug with potential antitumor activity. After intravenous injection, PR-104 is converted to the alcohol intermediate PR-104A by systemic phosphatase. Under hypoxic conditions, PR-104A is reduced intracellularly to nitrogen mustard hydroxylamine PR-104H, which has DNA cross-linking activity. PR-104H specifically cross-links the DNA of hypoxic tumor cells, thereby inhibiting DNA repair and synthesis, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in hypoxic-susceptible tumor cell populations, without affecting normally oxygenated tissues.
Drug Indications
Studied for the treatment of cancer/tumors (unspecified) and solid tumors.
Mechanism of Action
PR-104 is a novel hypoxia-activated DNA cross-linker with significant activity in human tumor xenograft models, and can be used as monotherapy or in combination with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Following intravenous injection, PR-104 is converted into the alcohol intermediate PR-104A by systemic phosphatases. Under hypoxic conditions, PR-104A is reduced intracellularly to form the active DNA cross-linking agent, the hydroxylamine compound PR-104H. PR-104H specifically cross-links the DNA of hypoxic tumor cells, thereby inhibiting DNA repair and synthesis, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis in susceptible hypoxic tumor cell populations, without affecting normal oxygenated tissues.
PR-104 is a hypoxia-activated DNA cross-linking agent belonging to the hypoxia-activated prodrug (HAP) class. Its mechanism involves selective activation in hypoxic tumor cells to generate DNA cross-linking species that inhibit DNA replication and repair. The compound has shown marked antitumor activity in preclinical models, both as monotherapy and in combination with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
