The metal chelator Triapineo, 3-aminopyridine-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone, is a potent inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase. EPR spectra consistent with signals from Fe-transferrin, heme, and low-spin iron or cupric ion were observed in peripheral blood motionuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from patients treated with Triapine((R)). One signal that is unequivocally identified is the signal for Fe-transferrin. It is hypothesized that Fe uptake is blocked by reactive oxygen species generated by FeT2 or CuT that damage transferrin or transferrin receptor. A potential source for the increase in the heme signal is cytochrome e released from the mitochondria. These results provide valuable insight into the in vivo mechanism of action of Triapineo.
