The role of reductive and oxidative metabolism in the toxicity of mitoxantrone, adriamycin and menadione in human liver derived Hep G2 hepatoma cells.

The cytotoxic properties of quinones, such as menadione, are mediated through one electron reduction to yield semi-quinone radicals which can subsequently enter redox cycles with molecular oxygen leading to the formation of reactive oxygen radicals. In this study the role of reduction and oxidation...
