Chemical modification of DNA with muta-carcinogens. III. Reductive alkylation of DNA with mitomycin C.

چکیده
Mitomycin C (MMC) binds to DNA after its reductive activation by catalytic hydrogenation with Pd on charcoal. Three modified nucleotides, named MG-1, MG-2, and MA, were isolated from the modified DNA after enzymatic hydrolysis to 5'-nucleotides. The structures of these modified nucleotides were deduced from their 1H-NMR and UV spectra, and from studies of the chemically transformed derivatives (hydrolysis, methylation, diazotization, and thioketonization). These three modified nucleotides were concluded to be 1,2-trans-2,7-diamino-1-(N2-deoxyguanylyl)mitosene (MG-1), 2,7-diamino-1-(O6-deoxyguanylyl)mitosene (MG-2) and 2,7-diamino-1-(N6-deoxyadenylyl)mitosene (MA). The same modified nucleotides were identified in DNA extracted from the livers of rats treated with MMC.

Isolation and structure of a covalent cross-link adduct between mitomycin C and DNA.
A DNA cross-link adduct of the antitumor agent mitomycin C (MC) to DNA has been isolated and characterized; the results provide direct proof for bifunctional alkylation of DNA by MC. Exposure of MC to Micrococcus luteus DNA under reductive conditions and subsequent nuclease digestion yielded adducts formed between MC and deoxyguanosine residues. In addition to the two known monoadducts, a bisad...
متن کاملMitosene-DNA adducts. Characterization of two major DNA monoadducts formed by 1,10-bis(acetoxy)-7-methoxymitosene upon reductive activation.
Reductive activation of racemic 1,10-bis(acetoxy)-7-methoxymitosene WV15 in the presence of DNA, followed by enzymatic digestion and HPLC analysis, revealed the formation of various DNA adducts. Reduction is a necessary event for adduct formation to occur. This reductive activation was performed under hypoxic conditions in various ways: (1) chemically, using a 2-fold excess of sodium dithionite...

2-Amino-6-methyldipyrido[1,2-a:3',2'-d]imidazole (Glu-P-1) binds covalently to DNA after metabolic activation to give 2-(C8-guanyl)amino-6-methyldipyrido[1,2-a:3',2'-d]imidazole (Gua-Glu-P-1). The importance of the intercalative ability of the Glu-P-1 skeleton into DNA base pairs for this reaction is emphasized. The reactive form of Glu-P-1, N-acetoxy-Glu-P-1 (N-OAc-Glu-P-1), reacts preferentia...
متن کاملReaction of DNA with chemically or enzymatically activated mitomycin C: isolation and structure of the major covalent adduct.
The antitumor antibiotic mitomycin C is shown to form a covalent complex with calf thymus DNA under anaerobic conditions in the presence of either NADPH cytochrome c reductase/NADPH, xanthine oxidase/NADH, or the chemical reducing system H2/PtO2. Digestion of the complex with DNase I/snake venom diesterase/alkaline phosphatase yields a single mitomycin deoxyguanosine adduct as the major DNA alk...
متن کاملA review of the role of the sequence-dependent electrostatic landscape in DNA alkylation patterns.
Alkylating agents, including environmental and endogenous carcinogens and DNA targeting antineoplastic agents, that adduct DNA via intermediates with significant cationic charge show a sequence selectively in their covalent bonding to nucleobases. The resulting patterns of alkylation eventually contribute to the agent-dependent distributions and types of mutations. The origin of the regioselect...
