Research Abstract

The failure of bleomycin to cause mutagenesis may be a result of the killing of cells due to irreparable damage of DNA caused by highly double strand breaks. We designed a new type of DNA cleavage agent, iron complex-substituted psoralen (1) according to the following strategy and is essentially composed of following three parts : (A ) a moiety capable of photochemically cross-linking to DNA ; (B) a DNA cleaving moiety ; (C) a linker moiety connecting (A) and (B) having a high binding affinity to DNA.A psuralen was used as (A) , an iron-complexing group as cleaving moiety (B) which has been synthesized as a bleomycin model, and polymethylene-amides as a llnker (C). The photoreaction of which is noniron complex of 1, with Col El plasmld DNA gave the covalently interstrand cross - linked DNA which was caused the high double strand scissions in the presence of FeSO4 and dithiothreitol under air. The inhibision effect and apoptosis to KB cells of 1 were observed.
