A series of 9-(arylamino)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridines, including the tetrahydro m-AMSA [N-[4-(acridin-9-yl-amino)-3- methoxyphenyl]methanesulfonamide] derivative, has been synthesized. 23Na NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T1) measurements have been used to study whether these hydrogenated acridines were capable of intercalative binding to calf thymus DNA. The results have been compared to corresponding measurements for 9-aminoacridine, m-AMSA, and MgCl2. All compounds studied were capable of intercalative binding to DNA. However, it was found that the interaction was strongly influenced by substituents on the 9-arylamino group. Thus, tetrahydro m-AMSA was found to intercalate much more weakly with DNA than m-AMSA. Removal of the 3'-methoxy substituent of the 9-arylamino group resulted in intercalation in DNA that was almost as strong as that for m-AMSA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007364 Intercalating Agents Agents that are capable of inserting themselves between the successive bases in DNA, thus kinking, uncoiling or otherwise deforming it and therefore preventing its proper functioning. They are used in the study of DNA.

D002621 Chemistry A basic science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter; and the reactions that occur between substances and the associated energy exchange.
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).

D000585 Aminacrine A highly fluorescent anti-infective dye used clinically as a topical antiseptic and experimentally as a mutagen, due to its interaction with DNA. It is also used as an intracellular pH indicator. 9-Aminoacridine,Acridinamine,Aminacrine Hydrochloride,Aminoacridine,Aminoacridine Hydrochloride,Aminopt,Mykocert,9 Aminoacridine,Hydrochloride, Aminacrine,Hydrochloride, Aminoacridine
D000609 Aminoacridines Acridines which are substituted in any position by one or more amino groups or substituted amino groups.

D013329 Structure-Activity Relationship The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.
