Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular determinants of topoisomerase I poisoning by lamellarins: comparison with camptothecin and structure-activity relationships.

TL;DR: The results show that the 20-OH and 8-OH of LMD can participate in hydrogen-bonding interactions with the side chains of Glu356 and Asn722, respectively, the latter being consistent with the finding that CEM/C2 cells, which are resistant to CPT, are cross-resistant to LMD.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA and non-DNA targets in the mechanism of action of the antitumor drug trabectedin.

TL;DR: The data suggest that trabectedin interacts with an additional non-DNA target to raise an effective antitumor response, and that this interaction is favored through trabectionin-DNA complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enantiospecific Recognition of DNA Sequences by a Proflavine Tröger Base

TL;DR: DNase I footprinting experiments demonstrate that the binding of the proflavine-based Tröger base is both enantio- and sequence-specific, and is the first experimental demonstration that acridine-type Tr Öger bases can be used for enantiospecific recognition of DNA sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antitumor activity, X-ray crystal structure, and DNA binding properties of thiocoraline A, a natural bisintercalating thiodepsipeptide.

TL;DR: X-ray diffraction analyses of orthorhombic crystals of this DNA-binding drug revealed arrays of docked pairs of staple-shaped molecules in which one pendent hydroxyquinoline chromophore from each cysteine-rich molecule appears intercalated between the two chromophores of a facing molecule.
