摘要
Me-lex(py/py), an adenine-N3-selective alkylating agent, and the reversible minor-groove binder netropsin were used to probe the formation of unusual minor-groove adducts by the cytotoxic hybrid agent PT-ACRAMTU ([IPtCl(en)(ACRAMTU)](NO3)(2); en = ethane-1,2-diamine, ACRAMTU = 1-[2-(acridin-9-ylamino)ethyII-1,3-dimethylthiourea). PT-ACRAMTU was found by chemical footprinting to inhibit specific Me-lex-mediated DNA cleavage at several adenine sites but not at nonspecific guanine, which is consistent with the platination of adenine-N3. In a cell proliferation assay, a significant decrease in cytotoxicity was observed for PT-ACRAMTU, when cancer cells were pretreated with netropsin, suggesting that minor-groove adducts in cellular DNA contribute to the biological activity of the hybrid agent.
