Structural diversity induced by pyrene intercalators in homogeneous oligodeoxyguanylates.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Homogeneous oligodeoxyguanylates incorporating small-molecule intercalator pyrene moieties in a 1,5 relationship form various structures of dimer, trimer, tetramer and internal hairpin form that are yellowish in color because of the intermolecular interactions between the pyrene units.

Position-specific trapping of topoisomerase II by benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide adducts: implications for interactions with intercalating anticancer agents.
DNA topoisomerase II (Top2) is the target of some of the most effective anticancer DNA intercalators. To determine the effect of intercalating ligands at defined positions relative to a known DNA cleavage site for human Top2alpha, we synthesized oligodeoxynucleotides containing single trans-opened benzo[a]pyrene 7,8-diol 9,10-epoxide (DE) deoxyadenosine (dA) adducts of known absolute configurat...
متن کاملEffects of amsacrine and other DNA-intercalating drugs on nuclear and nucleolar structure in cultured V79 Chinese hamster cells and PtK2 rat kangaroo cells.
Amsacrine [m-AMSA; 4'-(9-acridinylamino)methanesulfon-m-anisidide] is a synthetic intercalating agent with clinical utility in the treatment of acute leukemias and lymphomas. However, as with other intercalators, its mechanism of action is uncertain. We have examined structural changes induced by amsacrine and other intercalators (actinomycin D, Adriamycin, mitoxantrone, 9-aminoacridine) in cul...
متن کاملDNA Intercalators and Using Them as Anticancer Drugs
Many anticancer drugs in clinical use interact with DNA through intercalation, which is process that starts with the transfer of the intercalating molecule from an aqueous environment to the hydrophobic space between two adjacent DNA base pairs. In general, intercalatig agents are two types: monofunctional and bifunctional. Monofunctional intercalators contain one intercalating unit and Bifunct...

The catalytic activities of hepatic microsomes from untreated, phenobarbital-treated and 3methylcholanthrene-treated adult rabbits with respect to benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylation and the activation of (-)truns-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene[( -)~ans-7,8-diol] to DNA-binding metabolites were determined in the absence and presence of mixed-function oxidase inhibitors and compared to the cor...
متن کاملAn aptamer-based and pyrene-labeled fluorescent biosensor for homogeneous detection of potassium ions.
A simple and homogeneous method based on aptamer and pyrene moieties for the detection of K(+) was developed. The aptamer was labeled by pyrene moiety at 3' end as the molecular recognition element. In the presence of K(+), the complementary oligonucleotide labeled by pyrene moiety at 5' end was displaced from the aptamer, which was accompanied by a dramatic decrease of the excimer fluorescence...
