NCIt definition : A synthetic heterocyclic carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone with potential antineoplastic
activity. Triapine inhibits the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase, resulting in the
inhibition of the conversion of ribonucleoside diphosphates to deoxyribonucleotides
necessary for DNA synthesis. This agent has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in
vitro. (NCI04);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance being studied in the treatment of cancer. It is a type of ribonucleotide
reductase inhibitor.;
