چکیده
CC-1065 is a very potent antitumor antibiotic which selectively binds in the minor groove of DNA with alkylation at N-3 of adenine. Since therapeutic doses of CC-1065 caused delayed deaths in mice, analogues were synthesized, some of which had significant antitumor activity. The effects of several of these analogues on inhibition of CHO cell survival, cell progression, and their phase-specific toxicity are reported. CC-1065, U-66,664, U-66,819, U-66,694, and U-71,184 all have a left hand segment with an intact cyclopropyl group but have different tail segments. Lethality of these compounds after 2 h drug exposure was in the following order (50% lethal dose in nM in parentheses): CC-1065 (0.06) greater than U-71,184 (1.3) greater than U-66,694 (3.2) greater than U-68,819 (171) greater than U-66,664 (greater than 1200). In general, these compounds did not inhibit progression from G1 to S but slowed progression through S and blocked cells in G2-M. The phase-specific toxicity of U-71,184 and U-66,694 was different from that of CC-1065. CC-1065 was most cytotoxic to cells in M and early G1 and toxicity decreased as cells entered late G1 and S. In contrast, U-66,694 and U-71,184 were most toxic to cells in late G1. The biochemical and cellular effects of U-71,184 were then studied in detail since it was the most active among these analogues. After a 2-h exposure to 3 ng/ml U-71,184, 90% cell kill or growth inhibition was observed whereas 100 ng/ml was needed for similar inhibition of DNA and RNA synthesis. This discrepancy between the doses suggested that inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis may not be causally related to lethality. Further studies showed that when drug was removed after 2 h exposure, DNA synthesis continued to be inhibited whereas RNA and protein synthesis reached levels higher than the control. Therefore, it is likely that at cytotoxic doses the low level of inhibition of DNA synthesis combined with the stimulation of RNA and protein synthesis leads to unbalanced growth and cell death.

Interaction of CC-1065 and its analogues with mouse DNA and chromatin.
CC-1065 is a potent antitumor antibiotic which is cytotoxic to P388 and L1210 leukemia cells in vitro and in vivo. CC-1065 covalently binds to calf thymus DNA preferentially to adenine-thymine regions at N3 of adenine. Here, we compare CC-1065 interaction with P388-derived chromatin, DNA, and histones as measured by electronic absorption and circular dichroism. Two CC-1065 analogues (U-71,184 a...
متن کاملPropranolol induced chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary cell line
Propranolol (PL), a non-selective beta-blocker, is a cardiovascular drug widely used to treat hypertension. The present study was concerned with assessing the cytogenetic effects of this drug on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line. MTT assay was then carried out to determine the cytotoxicity index (IC50) of the drug. The IC50 value of PL was 0.43±0.02 mM. To investigate the clastogenic effect...
