The novel phase II antitumor polynuclear platinum
drug BBR3464
([(trans-PtCl(NH3)2)2(µ-trans-Pt(NH3)2(NH2(CH2)6NH2)2)](NO3)4) forms intra- and interstrand cross-links (CLs) on DNA (which is the
pharmacological target of platinum drugs). We examined first in
our recent work how various intrastrand CLs of BBR3464 affect the
conformation of DNA and its recognition by cellular
components (Zehnulova, J., Kasparkova, J., Farrell, N., and Brabec, V. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 22191-22199). In the
present work, we have extended the studies on the DNA interstrand CLs
of this drug. The results have revealed that the interstrand CLs are
preferentially formed between guanine residues separated by 2 base
pairs in both the 3' 3' and 5' 5' directions. The major
1,4-interstrand CLs distort DNA, inducing a directional bending of the
helix axis and local unwinding of the duplex. Although such distortions
represent a potential structural motif for recognition by high mobility group proteins, these proteins do not recognize 1,4-interstrand CLs of
BBR3464. On the other hand, in contrast to intrastrand adducts of
BBR3464, 1,4-interstrand CLs are not removed from DNA by nucleotide
excision repair. It has been suggested that interstrand CLs of BBR3464
could persist considerably longer in cells compared with intrastrand
adducts, which would potentiate the toxicity of the interstrand lesions
to tumors sensitive to this polynuclear drug.
