A series of DNA-intercalating potential antitumor agents, 1-[(omega-aminoalkyl)amino]-4-[N-(omega-aminoalkyl)carbamoyl]-9-oxo-9, 10-dihydroacridines, has been prepared by aminolysis of the corresponding 4-[N-(omega-aminoalkyl)carbamoyl]-1-chloro derivative with a suitable omega-aminoalkylamine. The noncovalent DNA-binding properties of these bis-functionalized compounds have been examined using a combination of fluorometric and thermal denaturation techniques and are compared with the behaviors for established DNA intercalants and cationic minor groove ligands. The results indicate that (i) the agents are considerably more DNA-affinic than less functionalized acridinones, with 'apparent' binding constants of (0.1-2.1) x 10(7) and (0.3-7.5) x 10(7) M-1 at pH 5 and 7, respectively, (ii) overall affinity is sensitive to both the length of the flexible side chain and the complexity of the attached amine substituents, and (iii) the pendant side chains effect a switch to moderate AT-preferential binding. In vitro cytotoxic potencies toward six tumor cell lines broadly parallel the observed DNA affinities, although poor correlation is evident for certain compounds. The octanol/water partition coefficients have been also calculated, but there is no correlation with cytotoxicity values. Two highly DNA-affinic analogs, 10 and 13, have been identified with a useful broad spectrum of cytotoxic activity.

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.

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.

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).
