DNA binding potential and cytotoxicity of newly designed pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimers linked through a piperazine side-armed-alkane spacer
چکیده انگلیسی

New pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) dimers have been developed that are composed of two DC-81 subunits tethered to their C8 positions through piperazine moiety side-armed with alkaneoxy linkers (composed of 2–5 carbons). DNA thermal denaturation studies show that after 18 h of incubation with calf thymus DNA at a 1:5 ligand/DNA ratio, one of them, 6a, increases the ΔTm value by 24.0 °C. Thus, incorporation of a piperazine moiety instead of an inert alkanedioxy linker alone significantly enhances the DNA binding ability, and the analogous dimer 4 that lacks a piperazine moiety in the linker spacer elevates melting by only 15.1 °C under identical experimental conditions. This illustrates the effect of introducing a piperazine ring in the middle of such an alkanedioxy linker which produces several hydrophobic interactions and could also achieve a superior isohelical fit within the DNA minor groove. Interestingly, these dimers 6a–d are significantly more cytotoxic than 4 in a number of human cancer cell lines, in particular, compound 6c is highly potent for almost all the nine human cancer cell lines.
