Towards more specific O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) inactivators.
Searching for a novel family of inactivators of the human DNA repair protein O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) which is known to bind to the DNA minor groove, we have computationally modelled and synthesised two series of 2-amino-6-aryloxy-5-nitropyrimidines with morpholino or aminodiaryl substituents (potential minor groove binders) at the 4-position. Synthesis of these compounds...
متن کاملDisulfiram sensitizes pituitary adenoma cells to temozolomide by regulating O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase expression.
O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) activity is responsible for temozolomide (TMZ) resistance in patients harboring aggressive pituitary adenomas. Recently, disulfiram (DSF) has been shown to induce the loss of MGMT protein and increase TMZ efficacy in glioblastoma cells, while CD133+ nestin+ cells isolated from the cell population have been implicated as pituitary adenoma stem-like c...
متن کاملO6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) Promoter methylation is a rare event in soft tissue sarcoma
BACKGROUND Gene silencing of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) by promoter methylation improves the outcome of glioblastoma patients after combined therapy of alkylating chemotherapeutic agents and radiation. The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency of MGMT promoter methylation in soft tissue sarcoma to identify patients eligible for alkylating agent chemotherapy such a...
متن کاملNovel synthesis of O6-alkylguanine containing oligodeoxyribonucleotides as substrates for the human DNA repair protein, O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT)
The human DNA repair protein O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) dealkylates mutagenic O6-alkylguanine lesions within DNA in an irreversible reaction which results in inactivation of the protein. MGMT also provides resistance of tumours to alkylating agents used in cancer chemotherapy and its inactivation is therefore of particular clinical importance. We describe a post-DNA synthesis...
متن کاملExpression of the O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase gene MGMT in MER+ and MER- human tumor cells.
DNA probes prepared from human O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase complementary DNA were hybridized to mRNA isolated from human liver and fifteen human tumor cell lines proficient (Mer+) or deficient (Mer-) in transferase activity. Liver and Mer+ cells contained levels of transferase-specific mRNA that correlated with their transferase activity levels, whereas Mer- cells contained undetecta...
