Aphidicolin and 17 derivatives that have been structurally modified in the A- and D-rings were assessed for their ability to inhibit DNA polymerase alpha. No derivative surpassed the activity of aphidicolin; derivatives with structural alterations in the A-ring exhibited significantly greater loss of activity relative to derivatives with structural alterations in the D-ring. The conclusions of these studies indicate a critical role for the C-18 function in the interaction of aphidicolin with polymerase alpha. Molecular modelling studies could not identify structural features of the aphidicolin-dCTP "overlap" that is unique to dCTP, relative to the remaining dNTPs, and that is consistent with the extant structure-activity data.
对在A环和D环进行结构修饰的阿非科林及其17种衍生物抑制DNA聚合酶α的能力进行了评估。没有一种衍生物超过阿非科林的活性;与D环结构改变的衍生物相比,A环结构改变的衍生物活性损失显著更大。这些研究的结论表明C-18官能团在阿非科林与聚合酶α相互作用中起关键作用。分子建模研究无法确定阿非科林-dCTP“重叠”相对于其余dNTPs中dCTP特有的结构特征,且该特征与现有构效关系数据一致。
