Luotonin A, a naturally occurring pyrroloquinazolinoquinoline alkaloid, has been previously demonstrated to be a topoisomerase I poison. A number of luotonin A derivatives have now been prepared through the condensation of anthranilic acid derivatives and 1,2-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]quinoline-3-one in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride. When dichloromethane was used as solvent the reaction proceeded to a single product. In contrast when the reaction was carried out in tetrahydrofuran or in phosphorus oxychloride, an additional isomeric product was obtained. The luotonin A analogues were evaluated for their ability to effect stabilization of the covalent binary complex formed between human topoisomerase I and DNA, and for cytotoxicity toward a yeast strain expressing the human topoisomerase I.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011758 Pyrroles Azoles of one NITROGEN and two double bonds that have aromatic chemical properties. Pyrrole
D011809 Quinones Hydrocarbon rings which contain two ketone moieties in any position. They can be substituted in any position except at the ketone groups.
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).

D004264 DNA Topoisomerases, Type I DNA TOPOISOMERASES that catalyze ATP-independent breakage of one of the two strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strand through the break, and rejoining of the broken strand. DNA Topoisomerases, Type I enzymes reduce the topological stress in the DNA structure by relaxing the superhelical turns and knotted rings in the DNA helix.
