Interaction of topotecan (TPT) with calf thymus DNA, coliphage T4 DNA, and poly(dG-dC). poly(dG-dC) was studied by optical (linear flow dichroism, UV-vis spectroscopy) and quantum chemical methods. The linear dichroism (LD) signal of TPT bound to DNA was shown to have positive sign in the range 260-295 nm. This means that the plane of quinoline fragment (rings A and B) of TPT molecule form an angle lower 54 degrees with the long axis of DNA, and hence TPT molecule can not intercalate between DNA base pairs. TPT was established to bind to calf thymus DNA as readily as to coliphage T4 DNA whose all cytosines in the major groove were glycosylated at the 5th position. Consequently, the DNA major groove does not participate in TPT binding. TPT molecule was shown to compete with distamycin for binding sites in the minor groove of DNA and poly(dG-dC). poly(dG-dC). Thus, it was demonstrated for the first time that TPT binds to DNA at its minor groove.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011068 Poly G A group of guanine ribonucleotides in which the phosphate residues of each guanine ribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the ribose moieties. Guanine Polynucleotides,Polyguanylic Acids,Acids, Polyguanylic,Polynucleotides, Guanine
D011089 Polydeoxyribonucleotides A group of 13 or more deoxyribonucleotides in which the phosphate residues of each deoxyribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the deoxyribose moieties. Polydeoxyribonucleotide
D004214 Distamycins Oligopeptide antibiotics from Streptomyces distallicus. Their binding to DNA inhibits synthesis of nucleic acids.
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
