丁基锡系列化合物与脱氧核糖核酸的相互作用

通过紫外（ultraviolet,UV）光谱和圆二色（circular dichroism,CD）光谱,研究了丁基锡化合物（一丁基锡、二丁基锡和三丁基锡）与脱氧核糖核酸（deoxyribonucleic acid,DNA）的作用方式以及时间和浓度的影响。结果显示丁基锡化合物与DNA的作用是双重的,既作用于DNA的碱基,对双螺旋结构有一定影响,又作用于DNA的磷酸基团,使构象发生变化。但是,丁基锡化合物与脱氧核糖核酸作用的程度和方式与丁基锡种类、时间和浓度等因素有关。一丁基锡倾向于与磷酸基团作用,三丁基锡倾向于与碱基作用,而二丁基锡与两者作用程度相近。短时间内,丁基锡化合物的作用位点通常是DNA的碱基;长时间时,则作用位点往往是DNA的磷酸基团。低浓度的丁基锡化合物倾向与DNA的碱基结合,高浓度的丁基锡化合物倾向与DNA的磷酸基团结合。     

Nucleotide oxidation mediated by naphthalimide excited states with covalently attached viologen cosensitizers

The ground- and excited-state interactions of polymethylene-linked 1,8-naphthalimide-viologen dyads with calf-thymus DNA have been investigated. By virtue of the covalently attached viologen, the compounds represent the first example of linked chromophore/cosensitizer systems in the photooxidation of duplex DNA. The compounds associate strongly with DNA. Analysis of ground-state spectral changes yield binding constants of 0.7-2.5 x 10(6) M-1. Upon 355 nm pulsed irradiation of the compounds in the presence of calf-thymus DNA, reduced viologen is observed within the laser pulse. Photoproducts are not observed on this time scale in the absence of DNA. Since ground-state bleaching of the naphthalimide was not observed, the results suggest that DNA nucleobases are the species being oxidized. The quantum efficiency of radical production increases with the extent of binding to DNA. Under conditions where the compounds are bound predominantly to DNA, the quantum efficiencies were found to range from 0.02 to 0.03. Although small, the values represent a substantial increase in charge-separation yield compared to 1,8-naphthalimide compounds that lack the covalently attached viologen. The mechanism of radical production and effect of number of intervening methylenes are discussed.     

二甲基亚砜及一些含氮稠环化合物与DNA的作用

A method for studying the effect of some organic compounds, which are neither soluble in water nor to be made into soluble salts in water, on DNA has been investigated by a series of experiments. The solubility experiments have shown that dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) and its aqueous solution are excellent solvents for the hydrophobic multicycles compounds with nitrogen atoms. The data of UV (298 K), CD (298 K), ~(31)P-NMR (323 K) spectra and molar enthalpy changes (298 K) for the effect of DMSO on DNA have not shown that DMSO has an effect on DNA when the pH of solution is equal to 7.0 and its concentration is less than 0.15 mol·L~(-1). This has further proved it is safe when DMSO is used as a carrier of medicinal compounds and enters into human bodies. Under the fixed experimental conditions, no differences were found out from the results of viscous tests (298 K) and UV spectra (298 K) for the effect of harmine hydrochloride on DNA in the presence and absence of DMSO even if the concentration of DMSO reached 0.5 mol·L~(-1). It has indicated that the existence of DMSO in aqueous solutions doesn't disturb the effect of compounds on DNA. The data of UV (298 K), CD(298 K), ~(31)P-NMR (323 K) spectra and molar enthalpy changes (298 K) for the effect of some multicycles compounds with nitrogen atoms on DNA in aqueous solutions of DMSO have also given a clear explanation to the intercalation bindings of these organic compounds to DNA, and a method to study the effect of these compounds on DNA can be developed from these experiments. By analying all the data for the effect of the above compounds on DNA, both the mechanism of interaction between the compounds and DNA and the relationship between the rule of intercalation binding of a series of compounds with same multicycles structures to DNA and their microstructures have been discussed. Since the two multicycles compounds with nitrogen atoms including harmine have high bioactivity, the further experiments inside animal bodies and clinical trial on patients as anticancer drugs should be carried out.     

Interactions of Phenanthroline Compounds with i-Motif DNA

The interactions of each of three phenanthroline derivatives 1, 2 and 3 with the human telomeric/-motif DNA were investigated. The results suggest these compounds are potent binders. The compounds could stabilize the structure of i-motif DNA by π-π stacking. Moreover, the binding constants of the compounds with/-motif DNA were （2.71-8.12）×10^4 L·mol^-1, and the binding stoichiometry ratio was 1：1. CD studies reveal that the binding by phenanthroline comoounds perturbs the conformation of i-motif DNA.

Biological fingerprinting analysis by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry for evaluation of DNA structural selectivity of multiple compounds in natural products

A method by combination of centrifugal ultrafiltration (CUF) sampling with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis was established to evaluate the DNA structure and sequence selectivity of the multiple compounds in a small molecule library. The developed method was applied to analyze the extracts of natural products Coptis chinensis Franch and Rheum palmatum (L.). From the obtained biological fingerprinting chromatograms, 7 compounds in C. chinensis Franch and 11 in R. palmatum (L.) were screened out as DNA binding agents. Most of these compounds were identified by standards and LC-MS analysis after the sample pretreatment with the DNA immobilized cartridge. DNA structural binding preference of the multiple active compounds in these two extracts was then evaluated simultaneously without purification.     

Studies on the Interaction of Novel Organogermanium Sesquioxides with DNA

The affinity and mode of interaction of four novel organogermanium sesquioxides with calf thymus DNA(CT-DNA) and two synthetic oligonucleotides, d(AT)₂₂d(AT)₂₂ and d(GC)₂₂d(GC)₂₂, were investigated by a combination of absorption spectroscopy, DNA thermal denaturalization method, viscosity method, fluorometric technique, and competitive binding study with ethidium bromide(EB). The results show that the organogermanium compounds can interact with DNA by intercalation, the binding ability of the compounds to CT-DNA and the synthetic oligonucleotides was found to be modest(in comparison to the proven intercalators), with binding constants on the order of 10³―10⁵ L/mol, respectively. Generally, the binding of the organogermanium sesquioxides with naphthalene moiety to DNA is stronger than that of the compounds with anthraquinone moiety. And the compounds with anthraquinone moiety have preference for binding to AT-rich duplexes, whereas the compounds with naphthalene moiety have a little preference for binding to GC-rich duplexes. DNA may be the primary effect target.

Solid State Electrochemical Oxidation of Some Bisphosphoramidates in Aqueous Media and their Applications in DNA Sensing

Bisphosphoramidates are known as anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral drugs and enzyme inhibitory agents. These compounds are electroactive and insoluble in aqueous media. Hence, a comprehensive study about the electrochemical properties of them seems very interesting. The oxidative behaviors of some bisphosphoramidates were studied in buffer solution over a wide pH range by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry using spiked carbon paste electrodes. The interaction of these compounds with calf thymus DNA (CT‐DNA) showed the ability of these compounds as DNA sensing. The decrease in the anodic peaks of bisphosphoramidates in the presence of DNA was used for the DNA monitoring.

Effects of the nature of counterions in solution on interactions of phenoxazones, xanthones, and carbazoles containing benzo-crown groups with DNA

The interactions of DNA with phenoxazones, xanthones, and carbazoles containing the (benzo-18-crown-6)-4′-yl and (benzo-15-crown-5)-4′-yl radicals bonded to the chromophore via spacers of different lengths in the presence of Na⁺ and K⁺ ions were studied by spectrophotometry, circular dichroism, and dynamic birefringence. The thermodynamic parameters of the binding of the compounds with DNA and changes in the macromolecular parameters of the DNA molecule during complexation were determined. Based on the results of these studies, we suggested the models of bonding of these compounds to the double helix of DNA. It is shown that the mode of DNA binding with a phenoxazone derivative containing two (benzo-15-crown-5)-4′-yl radicals bonded via a fragment of glycine to chromophore depends on the type of the counterion in solution. In the presence of Na⁺, the chromophore is intercalated into the double helix of DNA; in the presence of K⁺, it is bound to DNA in the form of a dimer outside the double helix. The type of the counterion does not affect the mode of binding of other crown-containing compounds of actinocin with DNA. For compounds containing the (benzo-18-crown-6)-4′-yl radical, the mode of binding to DNA adepends only on the spacer length.     

Cancer protector activity of antioxidant compounds

Considering a DNA to carcinogen electron transfer mechanism for the carcinogenesis process whereas carcinogens react as a electrophilic and DNA as nucleophilic species we propose that the cancer protecting compounds will compete with the DNA for the donation of the electron for the carcinogens. In this work, theoretical calculations of several compounds with well-known protecting activity are performed. The results were treated by a multivariant analysis (principal component analysis) in order to relate the calculated electronic parameters with the protecting activities.     

Studies on the Interaction of Ru(Ⅱ) Polypyridyl Mixed-ligand Complexes and DNA by Viscosity Measurement

The interaction of transition metal polypyridyl coordination compounds with DNA has been extensively studied in the past few years^[1]. Li the case of double stranded DNA, some coordination compounds may bind in the major groove with one ligand inserting between two base pairs DNA. The viscosity studies provide a strong argument for intercalation^[2].     

Magnetic bead-based approach to monitoring of cigarette smoke-induced DNA oxidation damage and screening of natural protective compounds

Cigarette smoking can damage DNA and induce spontaneous mutagenesis or carcinogenesis. Here, we describe a novel strategy for in situ monitoring of cigarette smoke-induced DNA oxidation damage and offer a method for screening natural compounds that protect DNA against tobacco smoke. The present protocol takes advantage of a fast and simple magnetic separation/mixing method and a highly sensitive chemiluminescence (CL) ELISA. The DNA immobilized on the magnetic beads was oxidized by the smoke in the absence or presence of natural compounds, and then oxidative DNA was conveniently held by magnetic force, whereas the complex tobacco smoke matrix and any remaining compounds were completely eliminated by extensive washing, and possible interferences were thus removed and oxidative damage was then sensitively monitored by CL ELISA. A library of 32 natural products was then screened and three were found to protect DNA from oxidative damage and thus may be promising compounds for the development of new drugs. Moreover, the protection effect of these three natural compounds against DNA oxidation damage was successfully classified by directly spiking them in the reference cigarettes. In addition, the potential to screen a mixture in a complex sample matrix, such as crude extracts, was also demonstrated, and hence the proposed technique can screen compounds within a complex matrix and enhance the screening throughput.     

A mass spectrometric investigation of non-covalent interactions between ruthenium complexes and DNA

Electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry was used to investigate reactions between six ruthenium compounds and three different non self-complementary duplex oligonucleotides containing 16 base pairs. Each of the compounds studied formed non-covalent complexes containing between one and five ruthenium molecules bound to DNA. Competition experiments involving duplex 16mers and pairs of ruthenium compounds were used to determine the order of relative binding affinities of the metal compounds. Other competition experiments involving ruthenium compounds, and the organic DNA binding agents daunomycin and distamycin, provided information about the sites and modes of DNA binding of the ruthenium compounds.     

Preparation and characterization of DNA films induced by UV irradiation

Large amounts of DNA-enriched materials, such as salmon milts and shellfish gonads, are discarded as industrial waste. We have been able to convert the discarded DNA to a useful material by preparing novel DNA films by UV irradiation. When DNA films were irradiated with UV light, the molecular weight of DNA was greatly increased. The reaction was inhibited by addition of the radical scavenger galvinoxyl suggesting that the DNA polymerization with UV irradiation proceeded by a radical reaction. Although this UV-irradiated DNA film was water-insoluble and resistant to hydrolysis by nuclease, the structure of the DNA film in water was similar to non-irradiated DNA and maintained B-form structure. In addition, the UV-irradiated DNA film could effectively accumulate and condense harmful DNA-intercalating compounds, such as ethidium bromide and acridine orange, from diluted aqueous solutions. The binding constant and exclusion number of ethidium bromide for UV-irradiated DNA were determined to be 6.8 +/- 0.3 x 10(4) M(-1) and 1.6 +/- 0.2, respectively; these values are consisted with reported results for non-irradiated DNA. The UV-irradiated DNA films have potential uses as a biomaterial filter for the removal of harmful DNA intercalating compounds.     

Ligational behavior of new mononucleating NOO ethyl pyruvate Schiff base towards 3d metal(II) ions: an emphasis on antiproliferative and photocleavage property

A series of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) complexes of a tridentate hydrazone were prepared and characterized by various spectro‐analytical techniques and magnetic moment studies. The complexes were found to be monomeric and non‐electrolytes. The copper complex is electrochemically active in the applied potential range. The compounds synthesized in the present study have shown promising antiproliferative activity when screened using the in vitro method against two human cancer cell lines: HeLa and HepG2. The Escherichia coli DNA‐binding properties of all the compounds were investigated with UV–visible absorption spectrophotometric titrations, viscosity measurements, DNA melting experiments and gel electrophoreses measurements. The compounds were demonstrated to act as DNA intercalators with appreciable DNA‐binding constant values. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Breakage of λ-DNA by inorganic tin and organotin compounds as environmental pollutants

In proportion to the environmental pollution problems caused by organotin compounds, the genotoxicities of tin compounds in the environments have become of interest so as to estimate their safety in recent years. In this work, isolated λ-DNA (double-strand DNA) was incubated with inorganic tin(II) and tin(IV) and five organotin compounds [n-butyltin trichloride, di(n-butyltin) dichloride, methyltin trichloride, dimethyltin dichloride and trimethyltin chloride] in reaction systems both with and without hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) content. The tin compounds tested in this study did not induce DNA breakage in the absence of hydrogen peroxide. Divalent inorganic tin (SnCl₂) and tetravalent inorganic tin (SnCl₄) caused DNA breakage in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (10 mM), and the DNA damage activity of inorganic tin was much more potent in divalent inorganic tin (SnCl₂) than in tetravalent inorganic tin (SnCl₄). Divalent inorganic tin (SnCl₂) induced DNA breakage in a concentration-dependent fashion at concentrations greater than 0.1 mM of SnCl₂ in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (10 mM). DNA breakage was not caused by n-butyltin compounds and methyltin compounds either in the presence or in the absence of hydrogen peroxide.
