HIDE SMILES / InChI
Tretazicar is a dinitrobenzamide prodrug that is converted in the presence of the enzyme NQO2 and co-substrate caricotamide (EP-0152R) into a potent cytotoxic bifunctional alkylating agent. Tretazicar is a product that belongs to a family of products used in the treatment of cancer because of its capacity to kill cells. The enzyme that activates tretazicar is present in leishmania cells where the product can be transformed and be active. Tretazicar kills infected cells by binding to the genetic material (DNA) of the cells and creating bonds that disrupt the genetic material and its function, finally resulting in the death of the infected cell. On 4 February 2008, orphan designation EU/3/08/529 was granted by the European Commission to Morvus Technology Limited, United Kingdom, for tretazicar for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis. On 4 February 2008, orphan designation EU/3/08/529 was granted by the European Commission to Morvus Technology Limited, United Kingdom, for tretazicar for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis. Tretazicar had been in phase II clinical trial for the treatment of liver cancer. However, this development was discontinued.
