1H-Benzimidazole derivatives as mammalian DNA topoisomerase I inhibitors.
Benzimidazole is one of the most important heterocyclic groups manifesting various biological properties, such as antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, antiprotozoal and antihelmintic activities. Several benzimidazole derivatives are also active as inhibitors of type I DNA topoisomerases. In this study, three 1H-benzimidazole derivatives with different electronic characteristics at position...
متن کاملTopoisomerase I Inhibitors.
Topoisomerase I inhibitors are a new class of anticancer agents with a mechanism of action aimed at interrupting DNA replication in cancer cells, the result of which is cell death. Most if not all Topoisomerase I inhibitors are derivatives of the plant extract camptothecin. Irinotecan (CPT-11), a semi-synthetic derivative of camptothecin, is approved in the United States for the treatment of co...
متن کاملSmall DNA circles as probes of DNA topology.
Small DNA circles can occur in Nature, for example as protein-constrained loops, and can be synthesized by a number of methods. Such small circles provide tractable systems for the study of the structure, thermodynamics and molecular dynamics of closed-circular DNA. In the present article, we review the occurrence and synthesis of small DNA circles, and examine their utility in studying the pro...
متن کاملTargeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis topoisomerase I by small-molecule inhibitors.
We describe inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis topoisomerase I (MttopoI), an essential mycobacterial enzyme, by two related compounds, imipramine and norclomipramine, of which imipramine is clinically used as an antidepressant. These molecules showed growth inhibition of both Mycobacterium smegmatis and M. tuberculosis cells. The mechanism of action of these two molecules was investigated...
متن کاملSynthetic inhibitors of DNA topoisomerase I and II.
A new type of synthetic inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase I and II was examined and several of these derivatives exhibited strong dual activity against these enzymes. This series of compounds showed high cytotoxic activities against cancer cells, but only a limited number of compounds showed any noticeable activity in an in vivo test against murine P388. Non-specific toxicity was observed in the i...
