In vitro sensitivity of Trichomonas vaginalis to DNA topoisomerase II inhibitors.
Vaginal trichomoniasis is a highly prevalent sexually transmitted disease caused by a microaerophilic protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis. The disease is one of the most common sexually transmitted disease and can augment the predisposition of individuals to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Although the disease can be treated with metronidazole and related 5-nitroimidazole, cases of tr...
متن کاملPartial purification of mitochondrial DNA topoisomerase II from Plasmodium falciparum and its sensitivity to inhibitors.
Mitochondria of Plasmodium falciparum (K1 strain) were isolated by differential centrifugation. Mitochondrial DNA topoisomerase II from P. falciparum was partially purified using fast protein liquid chromatography(FPLC). Parasite mitochondria contained approximately 8% of DNA topoisomerase II activity compared with its nuclear fraction. The effects of fluoroquinolones, inhibitors of bacterial D...
متن کاملCross-sensitivity to topoisomerase II inhibitors in cytotoxic drug-hypersensitive Chinese hamster ovary cell lines.
We have isolated a Chinese hamster ovary cell line, designated ADR-1, which exhibits hypersensitivity to a range of drugs which are thought to inhibit the action of the enzyme topoisomerase II. These include anthracyclines, other classes of intercalating agents, and the epipodophyllotoxin, etoposide. No significant sensitivity to radiation, or to mono- and bifunctional alkylating agents was see...
متن کاملAltered DNA topoisomerase II activity in Chinese hamster cells resistant to topoisomerase II inhibitors.
Most DNA intercalators and epipodophyllotoxins inhibit mammalian topoisomerase II by trapping the enzyme within DNA cleavage complexes that can be detected in cells as protein-associated DNA strand breaks. We have characterized previously a line of Chinese hamster cells (DC3F/9-OHE cells) the resistance of which to the cytotoxic effect of intercalators and etoposide is associated with a reduced...
متن کاملTopoisomerase II Inhibitors in Cancer Treatment
Topoisomerase II constitutes a family of nuclear enzymes essential to all living cells. These enzymes are capable of transferring one DNA double helix through a transient break in another DNA double helix. Type II topoisomerases play important roles in DNA metabolic processes, in which they are involved in DNA replication, transcription, chromosome condensation and de-condensation. Topoisomeras...
