Abstract
The antineoplastic agent indicine N-oxide is reduced to indicine by Fe(II) ions, by enzymatically reduced cytochrome c and by ascorbic acid in conjunction with hemin or cytochrome c. Indicine N-oxide is not reduced by native human Hb, but is reduced by denatured Hb. O2 competes with indicine N-oxide for reduction by denatured Hb.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
