Book Synopsis Advances in DNA Sequence-specific Agents by : M. Palumbo
Download or read book Advances in DNA Sequence-specific Agents written by M. Palumbo and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-11-19 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume the entire focus is devoted to the macromolecule target specificity of DNA interactive developmental therapeutic agents of current interest. A brief introduction to DNA interactive anticancer agents is included for readers who may benefit from an overview surrounding the developments that have contributed to our general understanding of this field. The following nine chapters have been carefully chosen so that they describe topics which are at the forefront of development in DNA-targeted cancer chemotherapy. Issues that have been addressed include the mechanisms of selective DNA topoisomerase I and II poisoning by antitumor agents (Chapters 1 and 2), sequence-specific recognition of DNA by groove-binding drugs and drug-conjugates (Chapters 3 and 4), recent developments in nitrogen mustard alkylating agents and their potential use for antibody-directed enzyme-prodrug therapy (Chapter 5), nonclassical platinum anticancer complexes, including dinuclear and trans-platinum derivatives (Chapter 6), DNA cleaving antitumor chromoproteins containing reactive enediyne moieties, which exhibit interesting free-radical chemistry along with selective targeting (Chapter 7), the potential of new sequence-specific antisense and antigene therapy in oncology (Chapter 8), and finally the conceivable chemotherapeutic use of mimetics of the DNA structure, obtained by substitution of the sugar-phosphate natural chain with a peptide backbone, the so-called peptide nucleic acids (Chapter 9). Important approaches being currently investigated for selective cancer treatment, such as gene therapy and immunochemotherapy, are not discussed in this volume since they fall beyond its scope.

Book Synopsis DNA-targeting Molecules as Therapeutic Agents by : Michael J. Waring
Download or read book DNA-targeting Molecules as Therapeutic Agents written by Michael J. Waring and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been remarkable advances towards discovering agents that exhibit selectivity and sequence-specificity for DNA, as well as understanding the interactions that underlie its propensity to bind molecules. This progress has important applications in many areas of biotechnology and medicine, notably in cancer treatment as well as in future gene targeting therapies. The editor and contributing authors are leaders in their fields and provide useful perspectives from diverse and interdisciplinary backgrounds on the current status of this broad area. The role played by chemistry is a unifying theme. Early chapters cover methodologies to evaluate DNA-interactive agents and then the book provides examples of DNA-interactive molecules and technologies in development as therapeutic agents. DNA-binding metal complexes, peptide and polyamide–DNA interactions, and gene targeting tools are some of the most compelling topics treated in depth. This book will be a valuable resource for postgraduate students and researchers in chemical biology, biochemistry, structural biology and medicinal fields. It will also be of interest to supramolecular chemists and biophysicists.
Book Synopsis Advances in DNA Sequence-Specific Agents by : J.B. Chaires
Download or read book Advances in DNA Sequence-Specific Agents written by J.B. Chaires and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1996-07-09 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DNA sequence specificity is a sub-specialty in the general area of molecular recognition. This area includes macromolecular-molecular interactions (e.g., protein-DNA), oligomer-DNA interacitons (e.g., triple strands), and ligand-DNA interactions (e.g., drug-DNA). It is this latter group of DNA sequence specificity interactions that is the subject of Volumes 1 and 2 of Advances in DNA Sequence Specific Agents. As was the case for Volume 1, Part A also covers methodology, but in Volume 2 we include calorimetric titrations, molecular modeling, X-ray crystallographic and NMR structural studies, and transcriptional assays. Part B also follows the same format as Volume 1 and describes the sequence specificities and covalent and noncovalent interactions of small ligands with DNA. This volume is aimed in general at scientists who have an interest in deciphering the molecular mechanisms for sequence recognition of DNA. The methods have general applicability to small molecules as well as oligomers and proteins, while the examples provide general principles involved in sequence recognition.

Book Synopsis Molecular Basis of Specificity in Nucleic Acid-Drug Interactions by : A. Pullman

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the central problems in the study of the mechanism of DNA-ligand interactions is the existence and nature of sequence specificity with respect to the base pairs of DNA. The presence of such a specificity could be of particular significance because it might possibly mean the involvement of specific genes in the effectiveness of the different drugs. The elucidation of the factors responsible for the specificity could then be important for the development of compounds susceptible to contribute to the control of gene expression and also to the development of rationally conceived, improved new generations of effective and specific chemotherapeutic agents. Important recent achievements, experimental and theoretical, in the analysis of such sequence specificities open prospects for possible rapid progress in this field. The 23rd Jerusalem symposium was devoted to the exploration of these recent achievements in relation to many types of ligand, with special emphasis on antitumor drugs. All major types of interaction, intercalation, groove binding, covalent linking, coordination, have been considered. So was also the effect of the interaction on the structure and properties of the nucleic acids and the relationship between the interaction and biological or pharmacological activities. We feel that this Volume presents a relatively complete up-to-date account of the state of the art in this important field of research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the texts of the nineteen lectures presented at the NATO-ASI - FEBS Course on "DNA - ligand interactions: from drugs to proteins." The Advanced Study Institute (ASIl was held from August 30th to September 11th. 1986 in the Abbey of Fontevraud (France). The ASI was attended by 112 participants from a wide scientific horizon and from twentyone different countries. It was in some way a follow-up of the ASI held in Maratea. Italy in May 1981 and which was published in the NATO ASI Life Science series as volume 45. While much has been learned about the way the cellular machinery maintains and transmits the genetic heritage. as well as how these processes are regulated. little is Known about how the interactions between the various partners involved are taKing place. The interactions of drugs and proteins with nucleic acids are of evident importance in the understanding of these problems. The spectacular advances in recombinant DNA technology and the increased sophistication of biophysical techniques. in particular >:-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance. have created a scientific environment which is highly promising for the future of research in molecular biology. These advances permH the serious hope that biology on the molecular level may become a r-eality. Some of the contributions at the ASI presented the most recent advances in this e>:citing field.

Book Synopsis Sequence Specific and Synergistic Binding of Drugs to DNA. by : Fu-Ming Chen
Download or read book Sequence Specific and Synergistic Binding of Drugs to DNA. written by Fu-Ming Chen and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combination chemotherapy is one of the important strategies in cancer treatments. This is based on the observation that administering certain drugs together is more effective than giving individual drugs separately. Although the reason for such an effect is not understood, it may be related to the synergistic effect of their binding to biomacromolecules. Consequently, studies on the interplay among drugs capable of binding to different regions of DNA will be of considerable interest. Understanding the synergism of drugs at the molecular level may have important implication for designing more effective chemotherapeutic strategies in breast cancer treatments. Our proposal focuses on the sequence specific binding and synergistic effect of three drugs having distinctly different binding modes: actinomycin D (ACTD), a guanine specific intercalator; chromomycin A3 (CHR), a guanine specific minor groove binder; and distamycin A (DST), an AeT specific groove binder. In order to investigate the possible synergistic effects of drugs on DNA binding, it is essential that binding characteristics of each individual drug such as binding affinities, sequence specificities, and kinetic behaviors be thoroughly elucidated. Consistent with the Statement of Work outlined in the proposal, our laboratory has focused on the sequence specificity and binding mode studies of DST during the past year.
