Oxidative activation of indole-3-acetic acids to cytotoxic species- a potential new role for plant auxins in cancer therapy.
Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and some derivatives can be oxidised by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to cytotoxic species. Upon treatment with IAA/HRP, liposomes undergo lipid peroxidation, strand breaks and adducts are formed in supercoiled plasmid DNA, and mammalian cells in culture lose colony-forming...
