Inhibition of transcription factor assembly and structural stability on mitoxantrone binding with DNA

Abstract: MTX (mitoxantrone) is perhaps the most promising drug used in the treatment of various malignancies. Comprehensive literature on the therapeutics has indicated it to be the least toxic in its class, although its mechanism of action is still not well defined. In the present study, we have evaluated the associated binding interactions of MTX with naked DNA. The mechanism of MTX binding with DNA was elucidated by steady-state fluorescence and a static-type quenching mechanism is suggested for this interaction. Th… Show more

“…Positive values of both ΔS and ΔH are typical for hydrophobic interaction, while negative values of both can be regarded as indicating van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds. However, positive values of ΔH and negative values of ΔS describe electrostatic interaction between ionic species in an aqueous solution 79 , 80 . Hence, the obtained results indicate that binding between the studied 7-MEOTA-THA thio-/ureas 12 – 22 and ctDNA was spontaneous due to negative ΔG values at all three temperatures, and the positive values of ΔH and ΔS showed that hydrophobic interactions play a central role in the binding of the studied 7-MEOTA-THA thio-/ureas 12 – 22 with ctDNA.…”

“…The negative value of Gibbs energy indicates that the binding process is spontaneous in nature. Moreover, the negative values of both entropy change and enthalpy change indicate that van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds are predominant forces involved in the formation pioglitazone‐DNA complex …”
