DNA Damage by Fasicularin

Abstract: Fasicularin is a structurally novel thiocyanate-containing alkaloid isolated from the ascidian Nephteis fasicularis. Early biological experiments suggested that this compound's cytotoxic properties may stem from its ability to damage cellular DNA. Sequence gel analysis reveals that treatment of a 5'-32P-labeled DNA duplex with fasicularin in pH 7.0 buffer causes strand cleavage selectively at guanine residues. Further experiments indicate that production of these base-labile lesions in DNA involves alkylation … Show more

“…2123 AP sites are prevalent lesions in genomic DNA that are generated by a wide variety of endogenous cellular processes, 2428 drugs, 25 bioactive natural products, 2934 and environmental carcinogens. 25,26 AP sites exist as an equilibrium mixture of the ring-closed hemiacetal 5 and the ring-opened aldehyde 6 (Scheme 2).…”

“…DNA replication, in tumor cells, can be blocked by the intercalations between the small molecule and the base pairs of DNA. 32) Thus, the characterization of the interaction between metal complex and DNA in vitro is of great importance due to the contribution for insights into its binding mechanism and the toxicological effect of metal based chemotherapeutic drug. 33) To better understand the antitumor activity of complex 1, the DNA binding property of 1 was studied by UV-Vis absorption, fluorescence spectrum and agarose gel electrophoresis.…”

“…Similarly, the interactions between small molecules and DNA are believed to be one of the primary action mechanisms of the antitumor activity. The DNA replication in tumor cells can be blocked via the intercalations of the small molecule between the base pairs of DNA [47,48]. Generally, the active compounds show an approximately planar structure and some hydrophobic characteristics to maximize the intercalations.…”
