Triapine, an iron chelator that inhibits ribonucleotide reductase, has been evaluated in clinical trials for cancer treatment. Triapine in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents shows promising efficacy in certain hematologic malignancies; however, it is less effective against many advanced solid tumors, probably due to the unsatisfactory potency and pharmacokinetic properties. In this report, we developed a triapine derivative IC2S (10) with potent antitumor activity. 10 Preferentially inhibited the proliferation of hematopoietic cancers by inducing mitochondria reactive oxygen species production and mitochondrial dysfunction. Unlike triapine, 10 executed cytotoxic action in a copper-dependent manner. 10 Induced up-expression of thioredoxin-interacting protein resulted in decreased thioredoxin activity to permit c-Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 activation and ultimately led to the execution of the cell death program. Remarkedly, 10 showed good bioavailability and inhibited tumor growth in mouse xenograft models. Taken together, our study identifies compound 10 as a copper-dependent antitumor agent, which may be applied to the treatment of hematopoietic cancers.
