Quinone methides: useful reactive intermediates for DNA cross-linking and organic synthesis
We investigated the reactivity of several quinone methides (QMs) as activatable bis-alkylating agents capable of DNA cross-linking (XL-DNA) with promising potency. Taking advantage from a photochemical activation protocol of BINOL-derivatives, we had developed a new method for the resolution of 3,3’-CH2Xdisubstituted BINOL (X = NR2, SR, OH) studying as well the effect of electron-donating and e...
متن کاملDual-Target Anticancer Drug Candidates: Rational Design and Simulation Studies
This study aims to design some dual-target anticancer candidates, capable to act as an alkylating agent as well as a thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitor. The designed scaffold is a combination of nucleobase, amino acid and aziridine structures. The candidates are docked into TS and three DNA double strand structures and evaluated based on their binding interaction energies and ligand efficienci...
متن کاملInterstrand cross-linking of DNA by 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea and other 1-(2-haloethyl)-1-nitrosoureas.
Bifunctional alkylating agents are known to cross-link DNA by simultaneously alkylating two guanine residues located on opposite strands. Despite this apparent requirement for bifunctionality, 1-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosoureas bearing a single alkylating function were found to cross-link DNA in vitro. Cross-linking was demonstrated by showing inhibition of alkali-induced strand separation. Exten...
متن کاملX-ray crystallographic study of DNA duplex cross-linking: simultaneous binding to two d(CGTACG)2 molecules by a bis(9-aminoacridine-4-carboxamide) derivative
Acridine-4-carboxamides form a class of known DNA mono-intercalating agents that exhibit cytotoxic activity against tumour cell lines due to their ability to inhibit topoisomerases. Previous studies of bis-acridine derivatives have yielded equivocal results regarding the minimum length of linker necessary between the two acridine chromophores to allow bis-intercalation of duplex DNA. We report ...
متن کاملInactivation of purified human O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase by alkylating agents or alkylated DNA.
O6-Alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase partially purified from cultured human lymphoblasts (CEM-CCRF line) was inactivated with DNA substrates that had been treated separately with five methylating agents or with five chloroethylnitrosoureas. The extent of depletion of the transferase by alkylated DNA was compared with its inactivation by direct reaction with these ten agents. As expected, DNA su...
