Dna binding agents

Tar DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) hyperphosphorylation, caused by Casein kinase 1 (CK-1) protein isoforms, is associated with the onset and progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

Twenty-five piperidines were studied as potential radical scavengers and antitumor agents. Quantitative interaction of compounds with ctDNA using spectroscopic techniques was also evaluated. Our results demonstrate that the evaluated piperidines possesses different abilities to scavenge the radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and the anion radical superoxide ( O2 ). The piperidine 19 was the most potent radical DPPH scavenger, while the most effective to O2 scavenger was piperidine 10.

A splicing factor SF2/ASF is a natural substrate for the kinase activity of human topoisomerase I. This study demonstrates that SF2/ASF inhibits DNA cleavage by human topoisomerase I induced by the anti-cancer agent camptothecin. The inhibition is independent of the phosphorylation status of SF2/ASF. We show that the inhibition did not result from binding of SF2/ASF to DNA that would hinder interactions between topoisomerase I and DNA. Neither it was a consequence of a loss of sensitivity of the enzyme to camptothecin.

The benzoacronycine derivative, S23906-1, was character-ized recently as a novel potent antitumor agent through alkylation of theN2 positionof guanines inDNA.We show here that its reactivity towards DNA can be modulated by glutathione (GSH). The formation of covalent adducts between GSH and S23906-1 was evidenced by EI-MS, and the use of different GSH derivatives, amino acids and dipeptides revealed that the cysteine thiol group is absolutely required for complex formation because glutathione disul-fide (GSSG) and other S-blocked derivatives failed to react covalently with S23906-1. ...

Medicinal chemistry is a discipline at the intersection of chemistry, especially synthetic organic chemistry, and pharmacology and various other biological specialties, where they are involved with design, chemical synthesis and development for market of pharmaceutical agents (drugs). Compounds used in medical applications are most often organic compounds, which are often divided into the broad classes of small organic molecules and biologics, the latter of which are most often medicinal preparations of proteins. Inorganic and organometallic compounds are also useful as drugs.
