Description

Methoxyamine is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. It is a strong reducing agent and is used in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals and pesticides. Methoxyamine can be synthesized by the reaction of methylamine with sodium methoxide in the presence of a catalyst. It has been studied for its potential use as an antidote for nerve agents, as it can react with organophosphorus compounds to inhibit their activity. Additionally, methoxyamine has been investigated as a potential therapeutic agent for various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. The research focuses on its ability to modulate neurotransmitter levels and protect neurons from damage. Methoxyamine has also been explored for its potential use as an anti-cancer agent due to its ability to inhibit the growth of tumor cells.'

Research Excerpts

Overview

Methoxyamine is an indirect inhibitor of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1), a multifunctional BER protein. Methoxyamine has been shown to enhance chemotherapy and/or IR cytotoxicity in human cancers.

Effects

Methoxyamine has been shown to potentiate the cytotoxic effect of temozolomide both in vitro and in human tumor xenograft models. It may be added together with the enzyme to block the AP sites and prevent the degradation of the polynucleotide.

Treatment

Methoxyamine (MX) treatment sensitizes late-passage wild-type cells to H2O2. In beta-pol null cells, MX has no effect. Cotreatment with methoxyamine, a base excision repair inhibitor, did not sensitize CEM-R cells to TMZ.
