9-beta-(2'-Azido-2'-deoxy-D-arabiofuranosyl)adenine (arazide) causes greater and significantly more persistent inhibition of [3H]-thymidine incorporation into the DNA of neoplastic cells than the related agent 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosyladenine (araA). To elucidate the mechanism(s) responsible, we compared the effects of arazide and araA 5'-triphosphates on DNA polymerases alpha and beta of L1210 leukemia cells. Both nucleoside triphosphate analogs inhibited DNA polymerase alpha activity by competing with dATP; only araATP was inhibitory to DNA polymerase beta. Arazide triphosphate was at least four times more active than araATP as an inhibitor of DNA polymerase alpha. Preincubation of DNA polymerase alpha with either agent did not result in enzyme inactivation. The results suggest that interference with DNA polymerase alpha activity by arazide triphosphate may be in part responsible for the inhibition of DNA synthesis produced by arazide in neoplastic cells.
9-β-(2'-叠氮基-2'-脱氧-D-阿拉伯呋喃糖基)腺嘌呤(叠氮化物)比相关药物9-β-D-阿拉伯呋喃糖基腺嘌呤(araA)对[3H]-胸苷掺入肿瘤细胞DNA的抑制作用更强且持续时间显著更长。为阐明其作用机制,我们比较了叠氮化物和araA 5'-三磷酸对L1210白血病细胞DNA聚合酶α和β的影响。两种核苷三磷酸类似物均通过与dATP竞争来抑制DNA聚合酶α活性;只有araATP对DNA聚合酶β有抑制作用。作为DNA聚合酶α的抑制剂,叠氮化物三磷酸的活性至少是araATP的四倍。用这两种药物中的任何一种对DNA聚合酶α进行预孵育都不会导致酶失活。结果表明,叠氮化物三磷酸对DNA聚合酶α活性的干扰可能部分导致了叠氮化物对肿瘤细胞DNA合成的抑制。
