The formation of semiquinone free radicals from antitumor drugs has been studied by pulse radiolysis. The semiquinone free radicals are reactive and have short half-lives in aqueous media under anaerobic conditions. The half-lives of the radicals formed from adriamycin, mitomycin C, and 2,5-diaziridinyl-3,6-bis(carboethoxy)amine-1,4-benzoquinone (AZQ) are 50,100, and 200 μs, respectively. The mean diffusion distance of the semiquinone free radical is less than 0.6 μm. In the presence of molecular oxygen the half-life of the semiquinone free radical is shortened. Adriamycin semiquinone reacts rapidly with oxygen,k= 4.4 × 107m−1s−1. In air-saturated buffer the half-life of adriamycin semiquinone radical can be calculated to be 8 μs with a mean diffusion distance of less than 0.1 μm. If the half-lives in buffer are comparable to those within a cell, semiquinone free radicals must be generated close to the site at which they produce a biological effect. One-electron reduction potentials (E71) were determined and were AZQ, −168 mV, adrenochrome, −253 mV, mitomycin C, −271 mV, adriamycin, −292 mV, daunomycin, −305 mV, and anthracenedione, −348 mV. Enzymatic one-electron reduction of these antitumor quinones by NADPH-cytochromeP-450 reductase increased at more positive values of quinoneE71.
