Trimidox (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzamidoxime) is one of the most potent ribonucleotide reductase inhibitors, revealing an antitumor effect in several experimental studies. We have examined the effect of trimidox on the induction of cytotoxicity and apoptosis via oxidative stress by typical free radical inducers, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), tert-butylhydroperoxide (tBuOOH) or ultraviolet (UV) irradiation in a human diffuse histiocytic lymphoma U937 cell line. Trimidox showed strong radical scavenging activity by the DPPH reduction assay. The 50% rate inhibited the DPPH reduction concentration of trimidox, and its derivates didox, or gallic acid were 8.8 μM, 117.5 μM, or 41.8 μM, respectively. Induction of cytotoxicity by H2O2 (500 μM) or tBuOOH (100 μM) was concentration-dependently attenuated by incubation with Trimidox (10—150 μM). Trimidox also prevented the effect of UV-induced apoptosis estimated by both nuclear morphological change and DNA fragmentation. This effect was due to inhibition of the production of reactive oxygen species. Moreover, the activity and mRNA expression of catalase, an antioxidant enzyme, was significantly increased by trimidox. These results indicate that trimidox has radical scavenging activity and prevents exogenous oxidative stress and increase in catalase; therefore, trimidox is suggested as an anticancer agent exhibiting potent antioxidant properties in this study.
