Phage inactivation and DNA strand scission activities of 7-N-(p-hydroxyphenyl)mitomycin C.

چکیده
A new derivative of mitomycin C (MMC), 7-N-(p-hydroxyphenyl)mitomycin C (M-83), had higher phage inactivation activity against phages phiX174 and PM2 than MMC, and also higher DNA strand scission activity against their single- and double-stranded DNAs. M-83, at one third to one sixth concentration of MMC, showed the same level of phage inactivation and DNA strand scission activities. The mechanism of phage inactivation and DNA strand scission by M-83 were similar to those of MMC: (1) Reduction of M-83 was required for its action. (2) Oxygen radicals were involved in DNA strand scission, and metal ions possibly participated in the generation of oxygen radicals. (3) DNA strand scission was single strand scission, and dependent on temperature. The high DNA strand scission activity of M-83 is considered to reflect the rapid conversion to the active form.

Mitomycin C reduced with sodium borohydride Induced the DNA damage at deoxyguanosines preferentially in dinucleotide sequence G-T. The DNA damage produced strand breaks when subsequently heated. The DNA damage scarcely occurred when the end-labeled DNA was preincubated with ethidium brotmde or actinomycin D before the addition of mitomydn C and the reducing agent. Fully reduced mitomycin C did ...

The effects of 7-N-(p-hydroxyphenyl)mitomycin C (M-83), a derivative of mitomycin C, against eight human tumor xenografts serially transplanted into male BALB/c nude mice were evaluated. M-83 showed positive antitumor effect against six out of eight tumor strains. The antitumor spectrum of this agent was similar to that of mitomycin C except for two strains. The serum level of M-83 detected by ...
متن کاملDNA strand scission in vivo and in vitro by auromomycin.
The mechanism of action of auromomycin, a new tumor-inhibitory antibiotic, was studied in a growing culture of mouse lymphoblastoma L5178Y cells and with isolated viral DNA. Auromomycin prevented growth of L5178Y cells completely and irreversibly at antibiotic concentrations higher than 0.03 microgram/ml. DNA synthesis was preferentially inhibited by the antibiotic, whereas RNA and protein synt...

Infection by the virulent bacteriophages of the T series is known to cause the formation of a number of new enzymatic activities in Escherichia coli (1). One of the virus-induced enzymes which appears in large amounts after T2 infection of E. coli is a new DNA polymerase which differs markedly from the DNA polymerase of normal E. coli (2). In addition, it is known that the DNA of the T phages i...
