Abstract
Synthetic ozonides and tetraoxanes were shown to have high cytotoxicity in vitro when tested on androgen-independent prostate cancer cell lines DU145 and PC3, which is in some cases was higher than that of doxorubicin, cisplatin, etoposide, artemisinin, and artesunate. Activity of ozonide stereoisomers differs from each other. This difference in activity and absence of correlation between activity of stereoisomers and their oxidative properties allow us to suggest existence of a quite specific mechanism of cytotoxicity of these endoperoxides different from a traditional mechanism based mainly on oxidative properties of peroxides.
