Studies on the interaction between antitrypanosome cis-DDP analogs with DNA. 1986

M C López, and L M Ruiz, and D Craciunescu, and A Doadrio, and A Osuna, and C Alonso

The nature of the conformational changes produced in DNA by cis-DDP analogs has been studied by physiochemical techniques. The UV spectra showed that the DNA undergoes bathochromic shifts accompanied by hyperchromic effects in reaction with specific analogs (cis-Pt(DDH) (mucobromic)2, cis-Pt(tranilcypromine)2Cl2 and cis-Pt(DDH) Cl2), while a different series of analogs (cis-Pt(DDH) (metafluorobenzoic)2 and cis-Pt(pentamidine)Cl2) induce a significative decrease in the absorbance at 258 nm. Moreover one of these analogs (cis-Pt(pentamidine)Cl2) causes strong stabilization of the double helix to heat denaturation. The CD spectra indicate moreover that cis-Pt(pentamidine)Cl2 modifies the secondary structure of the DNA in a significant way with an increase of the positive band and a decrease of the ellipticity of the negative band. The antitrypanosome activity of cis-Pt(pentamidine)Cl2 is probably due to inhibition of the intracellular parasites division in parasitized cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009691 Nucleic Acid Denaturation Disruption of the secondary structure of nucleic acids by heat, extreme pH or chemical treatment. Double strand DNA is "melted" by dissociation of the non-covalent hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. Denatured DNA appears to be a single-stranded flexible structure. The effects of denaturation on RNA are similar though less pronounced and largely reversible.

D010984 Platinum A heavy, soft, whitish metal, resembling tin, with atomic number 78, atomic weight 195.084, symbol Pt. It is used in manufacturing equipment for laboratory and industrial use. It occurs as a black powder (platinum black) and as a spongy substance (spongy platinum) and may have been known in Pliny's time as "alutiae". Platinum Black
D002942 Circular Dichroism A change from planar to elliptic polarization when an initially plane-polarized light wave traverses an optically active medium.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

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).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

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.
