Chemical properties of the leinamycin-guanine adduct in DNA.
The reaction of the antitumor agent leinamycin with thiols converts this natural product into an episulfonium ion that alkylates the N7-position of guanine residues in double-stranded DNA. It is reported here that depurination of this adduct is unusually facile, occurring with a half-life of about 3.5 h at pH 7 and 37 degrees C in duplex DNA. This is one of the most rapid depurination reactions...
متن کاملGuanine for DNA synthesis. A compulsory route through ribonucleotide reductase.
Two alternative pathways for the synthesis of dGTP and its incorporation into DNA were studied: guanine (Gua)----GMP----GDP----dGDP----dGTP----DNA and dG----dGMP----dGDP----dGTP----DNA. To determine the contribution of each pathway to DNA synthesis independently of each other, [14C]Gua and [3H]dG tracer experiments were performed in a double-mutant S-49 mouse T-lymphoma cell line, dGuo-L, with ...
متن کاملChemical methods for the synthesis and modification of neoclerodane diterpenes.
Diterpenes are a structural class of molecules that are derived from four isoprene subunits and are widespread throughout nature. A number of neoclerodane diterpenes have been found to have biological activity but a limited number of chemical investigations have been conducted. Recently, the neoclerodane diterpene, salvinorin A (12) has been investigated due to its unique pharmacological profil...
متن کاملSite-directed modification of DNA duplexes by chemical ligation.
The efficiency of chemical ligation method have been demonstrated by assembling a number of DNA duplexes with modified sugar phosphate backbone. Condensation on a tetradecanucleotide template of hexa(penta)- and undecanucleotides differing only in the terminal nucleoside residue have been performed using water-soluble carbodiimide as a condensing agent. As was shown by comparing the efficiency ...
متن کاملSelective chemical modification of DNA with alkoxy- and benzyloxyamines.
A new method for the selective chemical modification of DNA at cytosine nucleobases using alkoxy- and benzyloxyamines is presented. It is shown that in particular benzyloxyamines are effective DNA modifying agents, giving rise to almost exclusive formation of the mono addition products. By using a bifunctional derivative, that is, p-azidobenzyloxyamine hydrochloride, an azide moiety, which is a...
