چکیده

An alkylating camptothecin (CPT) derivative, 7-chloromethyl-10,11-methylenedioxy-camptothecin (7-CM-MDO-CPT) was recently shown to produce irreversible topoisomerase I (top1) cleavage complexes by binding to the +1 base of the scissile strand of a top1 cleavage site. We demonstrate that 7-CM-EDO-CPT (7-chloromethyl-10,11-ethylenedioxy-camptothecin) also induces irreversible top1-DNA complexes. 7-CM-MDO-CPT, 7-CM-EDO-CPT, and the nonalkylating derivative 7-ethyl-10,11-methylenedioxy-camptothecin (7-E-MDO-CPT) also induced reversible top1 cleavable complexes, which were markedly more stable to salt-induced reversal than those induced by 7-ethyl-10-hyroxy-CPT, the active metabolite of CPT-11. This greater stability of the top1 cleavable complexes was contributed by the 7-alkyl and the 10,11-methylene- (or ethylene-) dioxy substitutions. Studies in SW620 cells showed that 7-E-MDO-CPT, 7-CM-MDO-CPT, and 7-CM-EDO-CPT are more potent inducers of cleavable complexes and more cytotoxic than CPT. The reversal of the cleavable complexes induced by 7-E-MDO-CPT, 7-CM-MDO-CPT, and 7-CM-EDO-CPT was markedly slower after drug removal than that for CPT, which is consistent with the data with purified top1. By contrast to CPT, 7-E-MDO-CPT, 7-CM-MDO-CPT, and 7-CM-EDO-CPT were cytotoxic irrespective of the presence of 10 microM aphidicolin. These results suggest that 7-E-MDO-CPT, 7-CM-MDO-CPT, and 7-CM-EDO-CPT are more potent top1 poisons than CPT and produce long lasting top1 cleavable complexes and greater cytotoxicity than CPT in cells.

Topoisomerase I-related parameters and camptothecin activity in the colon carcinoma cell lines from the National Cancer Institute anticancer screen.

Camptothecin (CPT) derivatives are a new family of anticancer agents which are selective inhibitors of DNA topoisomerase I (top1) and have entered clinical trials with promising results. The cellular determinants for CPT activity were studied in the seven cell lines of the National Cancer Institute anticancer screen. These cell lines exhibit natural differences in sensitivity to CPT and can be ...

Camptothecin Overcomes MDR1-mediated Resistance in Human KB Carcinoma Cells1

In order to understand the high efficacy of camptothecin derivatives against human colon tumor xenografts in nude mice, we have studied the transport properties of camptothecin derivatives across cellular mem branes of MDRl-overexpressing cells. MDR1 overexpression was shown to have little effect on camptothecin cytotoxicity; camptothecin was equally cytotoxic to both the drug-sensitive parenta...

DNA topoisomerase I-mediated DNA cleavage and cytotoxicity of camptothecin analogues.

20(S)-Camptothecin, the 20(S)-camptothecin sodium salt, and 12 analogues with substituents on the A ring differ widely in their effectiveness in the treatment of murine L1210 lymphoblastic leukemia in vivo. The drugs were screened in the following systems: System 1, the cleavage of DNA in the presence of purified topoisomerase I; System 2, drug-induced trapping of topoisomerase I in a covalent ...

In vivo sequencing of camptothecin-induced topoisomerase I cleavage sites in human colon carcinoma cells.

Camptothecin (CPT) is a specific topoisomerase I (top1) poison which traps top1 cleavable complexes; e.g. top1-linked DNA single-strand breaks with 5'-hydroxyl and 3'-top1 linked termini. CPT is also a potent anticancer agent and several of its derivatives have recently shown activity in the chemotherapy of solid tumors. Our aim was to apply the ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction (LM-P...
