PMR studies of the self-association of DNA intercalating ellipticine derivatives in aqueous solution. 1976

A Delbarre, and B P Roques, and J B Le Pecq, and J Y Lallemand, and Nguyen-Dat-Xuong

In aqueous solution DNA intercalating ellipticine derivatives aggregate in n-mers. The self-association constants K are higher than those of 2-methoxy-6-chloro-9-[3-dimethylaminopropyl-amino]-acridine and ethidium bromide. They are of the same order as that of actinomycin D but inferior to that of acridine orange. The increase of the 9-hydroxy-ellipticine constant by addition of sodium chloride shows the importance of anion participation in the mechanism of stacking in accordance with the high energy of self-association. In the stacked n-mers the ellipticine rings are inverted. The geometry shows the importance of the orientation of the quadrupole axis in the intermolecular association of the intercalating drugs.

D002151 Calorimetry The measurement of the quantity of heat involved in various processes, such as chemical reactions, changes of state, and formations of solutions, or in the determination of the heat capacities of substances. The fundamental unit of measurement is the joule or the calorie (4.184 joules). (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)
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).
