Abstract

Some photobiological properties of 1'-thieno-4,6,4'-trimethylangelicin (TTMA), a new isoster of 4,6,4'-trimethylangelicin (TMA) were studied in comparison with the parent compound. The TTMA absorbs UVA light and photobinds in vitro to DNA more efficiently than TMA; however, in Ehrlich cells in vivo TTMA linked to DNA to a lesser extent than the parent compound, In general, the formation of damage into DNA is in line with this last result: In fact, TTMA and TMA form equivalent amounts of interstrand cross-links (ISC) both in vitro in linearized PM2 DNA and in vivo in HeLa cells, In this system TTMA induces DNA-protein cross-links (DPC) more efficiently than TMA; on the contrary, no significant amounts of single-strand breaks were detected with both compounds, The antiproliferative activity of TTMA is consistent with these results, being only slightly more pronounced than that of TMA, Experiments carried out using double irradiation demonstrated that these drugs are capable of inducing antiproliferative effects by biphotonic reactions, including the formation of both TSC and DPC. Thus, replacement of the oxygen atom by a sulfur increases the UV absorption of the drug and its capacity to photobind to DNA irt vitro but does not yield a comparable enhancement of its photosensitizing properties in vivo; this might be due to various reasons, for instance to an increase in the lipophilic character that could modify the behavior in vivo.
