We analyzed DNA duplexes modified at central guanine residues by monofunctional Ru(II) arene complexes (eta(6)-arene)Ru(II)(en)(Cl) (arene = tetrahydroanthracene or p-cymene, Ru-THA or Ru-CYM, respectively). These two complexes were chosen as representatives of two different classes of Ru(II) arene compounds for which initial studies revealed different binding modes: one that may involve DNA intercalation (tricyclic-ring Ru-THA) and the other (mono-ring Ru-CYM) that may not. Ru-THA is approximately 20 times more toxic to cancer cells than Ru-CYM. The adducts of Ru-THA and Ru-CYM have contrasting effects on the conformation, thermodynamic stability, and polymerization of DNA in vitro. In addition, the adducts of Ru-CYM are removed from DNA more efficiently than those of Ru-THA. Interestingly, the mammalian nucleotide excision repair system has low efficiency for excision of ruthenium adducts compared to cisplatin intrastrand crosslinks.
我们分析了由单功能钌(II)芳烃配合物[(η(6)-芳烃)Ru(II)(en)(Cl)]⁺(芳烃分别为四氢蒽或对异丙基苯,即Ru-THA或Ru-CYM)修饰中心鸟嘌呤残基的DNA双链体。选择这两种配合物作为两类不同钌(II)芳烃化合物的代表,初步研究表明它们具有不同的结合模式:一种可能涉及DNA插入(三环Ru-THA),另一种(单环Ru-CYM)可能不涉及。Ru-THA对癌细胞的毒性比对Ru-CYM大约高20倍。Ru-THA和Ru-CYM的加合物对DNA在体外的构象、热力学稳定性和聚合作用具有相反的影响。此外,Ru-CYM的加合物比Ru-THA的加合物更有效地从DNA上移除。有趣的是,与顺铂链内交联相比,哺乳动物核苷酸切除修复系统对钌加合物的切除效率较低。
