Five-member thio-heterocyclic fused naphthalimides with aminoalkyl side chains: intercalation and photocleavage to DNA
摘要:
Novel five-member thio-heterocyclic fused naphthalimides with aminoalkyl side chains were designed, synthesized and evaluated. These compounds have high Scatchard binding constants. They could damage DNA (supercoiled pBR322) from form I (closed) to II (nicked) at a concentration as low as 10 muM and from form I to form III at a concentration of 50 muM. The results implied that the influence of intercalating ability of chromophores on photocleaving ability of photocleavers depended on the mechanism of photocleavage. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

Two kinds of thio-heterocyclic fused naphthalene carboxamides, 3a-b, 4a-b, were designed, synthesized and quantitatively evaluated as efficient antitumor and DNA photocleaving agents. Compound 3a or 3b, having the thiophene ring, intercalated into DNA more strongly than compound 4a or 4b, having the thioxanthene ring. Compound 4a or 4b, photocleaved DNA more efficiently than 3a or 3b via superoxide anion. Compound 4a was the strongest inhibitor for P388 (murine leukemia cell), while 3a was the most cytotoxic one against A549 (human lung cancer cell). Each new compound showed stronger DNA photocleaving activity than corresponding naphthalimide. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Several novel heterocyclic-fused naphthalimides intercalators with chiral amino side chains were investigated. Their side chains' chiral configuration determines DNA binding activities in the order: S-enantiomers > R-enantiomers. And their DNA photodamaging activities were in good agreement with their DNA binding constants, the S-enantiomers could photocleave circular supercoiled pBR322 DNA more ef.ciently than their R-enantiomers. S-enantiomer B-3 could photodamage DNA at 0.2 mu M and cleave supercoiled plasmid DNA from form I to form II completely at 50 mu M. Almost all of these intercalators showed effective cytoxicities against human lung cancer cells and murine leukemia cells. S-enantiomers showed different antitumor cytotoxicity by comparison with R-enantiomers. This work may provide additional information for the role of amino side chains on intercalators as antitumor agents. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A series of novel hydroperoxides of heterocyclic-fused naphthalimides were designed, synthesized and exhibited excellent DNA photonicking activities. Among these compounds, the benzothiophenonaphthalimide-type reagent proved to be the most efficient, it can induce single-strand nicks in duplex DNA at micromolar concentration upon illumination. The relationship between the molecular structure and cleaving activities was discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Novel five- and six-membered thiocyclic-fused naphthalimide hydroperoxides (7, 8) as photonucleases were designed, synthesized via unusual isomerization in Pschorr cyclization and photooxygenation. The five-membered 7 was able to induce single-strand nicks in duplex DNA pH independently (7.0-8.5) at 0.5 muM under 366 nm, while the six-membered 8 could photonick the duplex DNA pH dependently (7.0-8.5) at 5 muM under 450 nm and showed 'time-controlled' photo-bioactivity. Their thiocycles and the angular conjugated plane have contributions to their binding affinity with DNA and photocleaving efficiency. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
