Description

Barminomycin II is produced by the strain of Actinomadura roseoviolacea and A. carminata. I and II showed strong inhibition of P388 leukemia cells with IC50 of about 0.00001 and 0.00002 g/mL, respectively (reference Doxorubicin of 0.013 g/mL).

1. Processing of anthracycline-DNA adducts via DNA replication and interstrand crosslink repair pathways
R A Bilardi, K-I Kimura, D R Phillips, S M Cutts Biochem Pharmacol. 2012 May 1;83(9):1241-50. doi: 10.1016/j.bcp.2012.01.029. Epub 2012 Feb 2.
Anthracycline chemotherapeutics are well characterised as poisons of topoisomerase II, however many anthracyclines, including doxorubicin, are also capable of forming drug-DNA adducts. Anthracycline-DNA adducts present an unusual obstacle for cells as they are covalently attached to one DNA strand and stabilised by hydrogen bonding to the other strand. We now show that in cycling cells processing of anthracycline adducts through DNA replication appears dominant compared to processing via transcription-coupled pathways, and that the processing of these adducts into DNA breaks is independent of topoisomerase II. It has previously been shown that cells deficient in homologous recombination (HR) are hypersensitive to adduct forming treatments. Given that anthracycline-DNA adducts, whilst not true crosslinks, are associated with both DNA strands, the role of ICL repair pathways was investigated. Mus81 is a structure specific nuclease implicated in Holliday junction resolution and the resolution of branched DNA formed by stalled replication forks. We now show that ICL repair deficient cells (Mus81(-/-)) are hypersensitive to anthracycline-DNA adducts and ET-743, a compound which causes a chemically similar type of DNA damage. Further analysis of this mechanism showed that Mus81 does not appear to cause DNA breaks resulting from either anthracycline- or ET743-DNA adducts. This suggests Mus81 processes these novel forms of DNA damage in a fundamentally different way compared to the processing of classical covalent crosslinks. Improved understanding of the role of DNA repair in response to such adducts may lead to more effective chemotherapy for patients with BRCA1/2 mutations and other HR deficiencies.
2. Barminomycin, a model for the development of new anthracyclines
K Kimura, D M S Spencer, R Bilardi, L P Swift, A J Box, R T C Brownlee, S M Cutts, D R Phillips Anticancer Agents Med Chem. 2010 Jan;10(1):70-7. doi: 10.2174/1871520611009010070.
Barminomycin is a member of the anthracycline class of anticancer agents and was originally discovered as a pink/red complex with DNA and RNA and named SN-07. The chromophore was subsequently separated from the nucleic acids by nuclease digestion and contained the four-membered anthraquinone ring system characteristic of anthracyclines, but with an unusual eight membered ring that contained a carbinolamine which readily interconverted to an imine. The imine form is analogous to the formaldehyde-activated form of other anthracyclines such as doxorubicin. The imine form confers exceptional activity to barminomycin which is 1,000-fold more cytotoxic than doxorubicin. Barminomycin rapidly forms adducts with DNA, reacting with the exocyclic amino group of guanine residues and with high selectivity for 5'-GC-3' sequences. The coupling to DNA appears to be identical to the N-C-N aminal linkage formed between doxorubicin and DNA where the carbon derives from formaldehyde for doxorubicin-DNA adducts, whereas this "activated carbon" is an inherent component of the imine group in the eight membered ring of barminomycin. Although the linkage of both drugs to DNA appears to be identical, barminomycin-DNA complexes are essentially irreversible compared to the labile doxorubicin-DNA adducts which have an in vitro (purified DNA) half-life of 25 h at 37 degrees C. A 3D model of the barminomycin-DNA complex has been defined from 307 NOE distance constraints. The enhanced stability of barminomycin-DNA adducts appears to be due primarily to protection of the aminal linkage from hydrolysis and this has provided insight into the design of new anthracycline derivatives with enhanced stability and activity. Strategies for harnessing the extreme reactivity and activity of barminomycin are also presented.
