摘要
Anthracenyl-amino acid/dipeptides are novel topoisomerase (topo) inhibitors which can be actively cytotoxic in the low mu M range. The present studies have been performed to determine whether cells treated with the topo II catalytic inhibitor NU/ICRF 500 (serine derivative) would manifest cytogenetic lesions consistent with its proposed mechanism of enzyme inhibition. Three other compounds were included for comparison: NU/ICRF 505 (tyrosine) which stabilises topo I cleavable complexes, NU/ICRF 602 (gly-gly) a non-cytotoxic catalytic inhibitor of topo I and II and NU/ICRF 502 (alanine) a non-cytotoxic non-topo inhibitor. Chromosomal damage was measured using the micronucleus test, NU/ICRF 500 (7.5-30 mu M) induced an increase in CREST negative micronuclei (11-15 per 500 cells) in human lymphocytes (HL) and blocked the traverse of HL through the cell cycle, with cells accumulating in G2/M at 15 mu M drug and G1/S at 30 mu M drug. NU/ICRF 502 was without effect in the micronucleus test. NTJ/ICRF 500 and 602 (90-150 mu M) caused no block in passage of synchronised metaphase Chinese hamster ovary cells through mitosis whereas NU/ICRF 505 produced a significant delay. DNA measurements of post-mitotic cells revealed that after NU/ICRF 500 treatment nuclei had a 4C DNA content, indicative of a lack of chromosomal segregation. Normal (2C) DNA content was observed with NU/ICRF 505 and 602. Overall, the data for NU/ICRF 500 are consistent with the cytogenetic modifications expected after catalytic inhibition of topo II and suggest that cell death may be mediated, at least in part, through this mechanism.
