Redox chemotherapy: Antiproliferative activities of a series of N‐substituted 1,2‐dihydroquinolines capable of causing redox imbalance in cancer cells are presented. Detailed studies showed that these derivatives arrest the cell cycle in the G 2 /M phase and induce apoptosis through an intrinsic pathway characterized by loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, DNA fragmentation, cytochrome c release, and activation of caspases 9 and 3.
