The evolving role of DNA inter-strand crosslinks in chemotherapy. Curr Opin Pharmacol 2018; 41:20-26.

Abstract
DNA crosslinking agents make up a broad class of chemotherapy agents that target rapidly dividing cancer cells by disrupting DNA synthesis. These drugs differ widely in both chemical structure and biological effect. In cells, crosslinking agents can form multiple types of DNA lesions with varying efficiencies. Inter-strand crosslinks (ICLs) are considered to be the most cytotoxic lesion, creating a covalent roadblock to replication and transcription. Despite over 50 years in the clinic, the use of crosslinking agents that specialize in the formation of ICLs remains limited, largely due to high toxicity in patients. Current ICL-based therapeutics have focused on late-stage and drug-resistant tumors, or localized treatments that limit exposure. In this article, we review the development of clinical crosslinking agents, our understanding of how cells respond to different lesions, and the potential to improve ICL-based chemotherapeutics in the future.

Abstract
The "combi-targeting" concept seeks to design molecules to not only block tyrosine kinase (TK) activity but also to induce DNA damage. Here we design AK04, a molecule that combines the pharmacophore chlorambucil with that of STI-571 (Gleevec). The results showed that although a less potent abl TK inhibitor than STI571, AK04 was capable of significantly blocking bcr-abl phosphorylation not only in a purified abl assay but also in the bcr-abl+ K562 cells. In contrast to STI571 and like chlorambucil, it induced a dose-dependent increase in DNA damage in these cells. More importantly, AK04 was 12-32-fold more potent than chlorambucil in all bcr-abl+ cells of our cell panel. In the isogenic human megakaryocytic Mo7e and Mo7/bcr-abl cells, AK04 selectively killed the bcr-abl transfectants. Flow cytometry revealed that despite being a five-fold less potent inhibitor of bcr-abl than STI-571, it induced a significant dose-dependent increase in levels of cell death by apoptosis in KU812 cells 24 h post-treatment. Under these conditions, chlorambucil did not induce any significant level of apoptosis. These results suggest that AK04 is a nitrogen mustard with binary bcr-abl/DNA targeting effects, a property that may account for its superior potency when compared with the classical mustard chlorambucil.

Abstract
A series of diaryl and alkylaryl sulfoxide-containing nitrogen mustards were synthesized and evaluated for their hypoxia-selective cytotoxicity against V-79 cells in vitro as well as for their metabolism profiles with the rat S-9 fractions. In general, the diaryl sulfoxides (4, 5, and 7-9) showed much greater hypoxia selectivity (11-27-fold) than the alkylaryl sulfoxides (approximately 3-fold) (1 and 3). The fused diphenyl sulfoxides (10 and 11), on the other hand, showed very low hypoxia selectivity (1.3-3-fold). Compound 10 was highly cytotoxic under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, while 11 showed low cytotoxicity under both conditions. The bioreduction of 8 by the rat S-9 fraction under anaerobic conditions was inhibited by menadione and enhanced by benzaldehyde, acetaldehyde, or 2-hydroxypyrimidine suggesting the involvement of aldehyde oxidase in the reduction of the sulfoxides. Bioreductive metabolism studies of selected model sulfoxides suggested that diaryl sulfoxides are better substrates for aldehyde oxidase than alkylaryl sulfoxides.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to find potent molecules against the toxicity of nitrogen mustard mechlorethamine (HN2) on respiratory epithelial cells, using a human bronchial epithelial cell line (16HBE14o-) as an in vitro model. The compounds examined included inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), sulfhydryl-group donors as nucleophiles, and iron chelators and inhibitors of lipid peroxidation as antioxidants. Their effectiveness was determined upon observance of metabolic dysfunction induced by HN2 following a 4-h exposure, using (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction and ATP-level assays as indicators. Moreover, the fluorescent probe, monobromobimane (mBBr), and 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin-diacetate (H2DCF-DA) were used to assess intracellular sulfhydryl and peroxide level modifications by flow cytometry, respectively, following a 3-h exposure. At last, cell death was assessed by flow cytometry using the propidium iodide (PI)-dye-exclusion assay following 24-h exposure. PARP inhibitors (niacinamide, 3-aminobenzamide, 6(5H)-phenanthridinone), and two sulfhydryl-group donors (N-acetylcysteine, WR-1065) were found to be effective in preventing HN2-induced metabolic dysfunction when added in immediate or delayed treatment with HN2. Only N-acetylcysteine, however, was found to prevent cell death induced by HN2, though it must be present at the time of the HN2 challenge. Flow cytometric measurements of intracellular sulfhydryl levels strongly suggested that N-acetylcysteine and WR-1065 are preventive in alkylation of cellular compounds, mainly by direct extracellular interaction with HN2. PARP inhibitors prevent secondary deleterious effects induced by HN2, considering metabolism dysfunction as the endpoint. Elsewhere, the oxidative stress appears to be a side effect in HN2 toxicity only upon considering the inefficiency of several antioxidants.

Abstract
Nitrogen mustard analogues, bleomycin and dimethyl sulphate (DMS) have been used as probes of protein-DNA interactions in intact human cells. The sites of damage have been determined at base pair resolution in the single copy epsilon-globin gene promoter in erythroid K562 cells, non-erythroid HeLa cells and purified DNA. Exponential amplification of gene-specific damage fragments was achieved using the ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction (LMPCR) technique and analysed on DNA sequencing gels. A comparison of the relative damage band intensities between purified DNA and intact cells revealed several significant differences - both protection (footprint) and enhancement. These differences occurred at putative transcription factor binding sites and hence are thought to be due to protein-DNA interactions. A major feature of the band intensity ratio plots was the footprint observed at the CCAAT box binding motif as revealed by nitrogen mustard analogues. Enhanced band intensity (hypersensitivity) was displayed at the 5'- and 3'-ends of the CCAAT box in K562 cells - this feature was absent in HeLa cells and in vitro reconstitutions. A footprint was found at the GATA-1 motif in K562 cells that was also absent in non-expressing HeLa cells. Footprints were also evident at the TATA box, CACC box and the epsilonF1 DNA binding motif in K562 cells.

Abstract
Four new potential self-immolative prodrugs derived from phenol and aniline nitrogen mustards, four model compounds derived from their corresponding fluoroethyl analogues and two new self-immolative linkers were designed and synthesized for use in the suicide gene therapy termed GDEPT (gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy). The self-immolative prodrugs were designed to be activated by the enzyme carboxypeptidase G2 (CPG2) releasing an active drug by a 1, 6-elimination mechanism via an unstable intermediate. Thus, N-[(4-¿[4-(bis¿2-chloroethyl¿amino)phenoxycarbonyloxy]methyl¿pheny l)c arbamoyl]-L-glutamic acid (23), N-[(4-¿[4-(bis¿2-chloroethyl¿amino)phenoxycarbonyloxy]methyl¿pheno xy) carbonyl]-L-glutamic acid (30), N-[(4-¿[N-(4-¿bis[2-chloroethyl]amino¿phenyl)carbamoyloxy]methyl¿+ ++phen oxy)carbonyl]-L-glutamic acid (37), and N-[(4-¿[N-(4-¿bis[2-chloroethyl]amino¿phenyl)carbamoyloxy]methyl¿+ ++phen yl)carbamoyl]-L-glutamic acid (40) were synthesized. They are bifunctional alkylating agents in which the activating effects of the phenolic hydroxyl or amino functions are masked through an oxycarbonyl or a carbamoyl bond to a benzylic spacer which is itself linked to a glutamic acid by an oxycarbonyl or a carbamoyl bond. The corresponding fluoroethyl compounds 25, 32, 42, and 44 were also synthesized. The rationale was to obtain model compounds with greatly reduced alkylating abilities that would be much less reactive with nucleophiles compared to the corresponding chloroethyl derivatives. This enabled studies of these model compounds as substrates for CPG2, without incurring the rapid and complicated decomposition pathways of the chloroethyl derivatives. The prodrugs were designed to be activated to their corresponding phenol and aniline nitrogen mustard drugs by CPG2 for use in GDEPT. The synthesis of the analogous novel parent drugs (21b, 51) is also described. A colorectal cell line was engineered to express CPG2 tethered to the outer cell surface. The phenylenediamine compounds were found to behave as prodrugs, yielding IC50 prodrug/IC50 drug ratios between 20- and 33-fold (for 37 and 40) and differentials of 12-14-fold between CPG2-expressing and control LacZ-expressing clones. The drugs released are up to 70-fold more potent than 4-[(2-chloroethyl)(2-mesyloxyethyl)amino]benzoic acid that results from the prodrug 4-[(2-chloroethyl)(2-mesyloxyethyl)amino]benzoyl-L-glutamic acid (CMDA) which has been used previously for GDEPT. These data demonstrate the viability of this strategy and indicate that self-immolative prodrugs can be synthesized to release potent mustard drugs selectively by cells expressing CPG2 tethered to the cell surface in GDEPT.

Mono- and dysfunctional nitrogen mustard analogues of the DNA minor groove binder pibenzimol. Synthesis, cytotoxicity and interaction with DNA. ANTI-CANCER DRUG DESIGN 1998; 13:221-42.

Abstract
Two series of mono- and dysfunctional aniline mustards linked to a bisbenzimidazole minor groove binder have been prepared using a new method (polyphosphate ester-mediated direct coupling of appropriate mustard acids with a preformed advanced phenylenediamine intermediate). As the linker chain attaching the mustard was lengthened the binding site size of the compounds to calf thymus DNA remained essentially constant at 2.6 nucleotides, but reversible binding strength declined by a factor of 2. Analogues with longer linker chains alkylated DNA much more rapidly than those with shorter chains, consistent with the electronic factors. The short chain analogues also failed to alkylate a 120 bp HindIII to Bg/II fragment of the gpt gene, as measured by gel electrophoresis cleavage assays. The longer chain analogues (both mono- and dysfunctional mustards) showed patterns of DNA alkylation that varied with chain length. In particular, while most compounds showed substantial N7 alkylation at many guanine residues, the analogue with a (CH2)3 linker chain showed strong alkylation at adenine sites in poly-AT regions. For the longer chain analogues, the bifunctional mustards were substantially (10- to 20-fold) more cytotoxic than the corresponding monofunctional analogues.

Abstract
Twenty nitrogen mustard analogues derived from 5-(aziridin-1-yl)-2,4-dinitrobenzamide (CB 1954, 1) were evaluated as candidate prodrugs for gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (GDEPT) in Chinese hamster V79 cell lines engineered to express Escherichia coli nitroreductase (NR). Structural variations within the series included the use of N-dihydroxypropyl and (N-dimethylamino)ethyl carboxamide side chains, the use of chloro, bromo, mesyl, and iodo leaving groups on the mustards, and regioisomeric changes. The compounds were assayed for cytotoxicity (IC50) with the NR-expressing and controls of non-NR-expressing cell lines. The proportion of NR-expressing cells required in a mixture for nonexpressing cells to experience 50% of their cytotoxicity (termed the TE50) was used to assess the compounds' ability to induce a bystander effect. This study suggests that 5-[N,N-bis(2-bromoethyl)amino]-2,4-dinitrobenzamide (8), 5-[N,N-bis(2-iodoethyl)amino]-2,4-dinitrobenzamide (9), 2-[N,N-bis(2-bromoethyl)-amino]-3,5-dinitrobenzamide (13), and 2-[N,N-bis(2-iodoethyl)amino]-3,5-dinitrobenzamide (14) showed considerable improvements over 1, exhibiting greater potency, higher IC50 ratios, and lower TE50s, and are thus superior prodrugs to 1 for GDEPT.

Abstract
The concept of LDL-based chemotherapy of cancer is based on the fact that many tumors have high LDL requirements. A series of compounds has been synthesized, some of which meet all criteria for such therapy, i.e., they can be reconstituted with LDL, they do not leak out of the reconstituted LDL (rLDL), and they are potent enough to kill cells exclusively via the LDL receptor pathway. Two of these compounds are significantly superior to the best one from our earlier study [Firestone et al. (1984) J. Med. Chem. 27, 1037-1043], being cytotoxic in rLDL at concentrations reasonably attainable in vivo.

Abstract
It was previously shown that the predominant mutations induced by melphalan (L-phenylalanine mustard) in the supF gene of shuttle plasmid pZ189 during replication in human cells are A.T----T.A transversions. In order to determine whether adenine adducts were formed at sequence positions corresponding to these mutations, melphalan-induced thermolabile adducts were mapped in the supF gene by selective depurination followed by strand cleavage in alkali. All A.T base pairs which were frequent sites for melphalan-induced A.T----T.A transversions were also prominent sites for formation of thermolabile adenine adducts. Although no mutations were detected at some prominent adduct sites, there was a significant correlation between adduct sites and mutation sites. While runs of two or more adenines were particularly prominent adduct sites, comparison of results obtained with 3'- and 5'-end-labeled DNA gave no evidence for intrastrand cross-links between adjacent adenines. Chlorambucil, another aromatic nitrogen mustard, showed sequence specificities for both mutagenesis and adenine adduct formation nearly identical to those seen with melphalan. The nonaromatic analogues mechlorethamine and phosphoramide mustard were much less efficient in inducing thermolabile adenine adducts, and mechlorethamine induced significantly fewer transversions at A.T base pairs than chlorambucil or melphalan. Formation of thermolabile adenine adducts by the aromatic nitrogen mustards was markedly reduced by blockage of the minor groove with distamycin, or by prior heat denaturation of the DNA. These results suggest that alkylation occurs primarily at the N-3 rather than N-7 position of adenine, probably as a consequence of the affinity of the aromatic rings of melphalan and chlorambucil for the minor groove.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Unambiguous and sensitive methods based on gas chromatography-chemical ionization mass spectrometry have been developed to quantitate cyclophosphamide and two alkylating and cytotoxic metabolites, phosphoramide mustard and nornitrogen mustard. The levels of these materials have been determined in the plasma and urine of five patients receiving cyclophosphamide, 60 or 75 mg/kg i.v. Peak plasma levels of phosphoramide mustard of 50 to 100 nmoles/ml were found at 3 hr after cyclophosphamide administration. Variable levels of nornitrogen mustard were found in the plasma. This product may be arising in part from the decomposition of other metabolites during sample storage and preparation.

Abstract
A group of 220 patients with mycosis fungoides (MF) and other lymphomatous diseases was treated with sustained topical applications of dilute aqueous solutions of mechlorethamine hydrochloride for intervals ranging in excess of seven years. Response to treatment, immunologic responsiveness, and subsequent course and survival were inversely related to magnitude of disease at time of starting treatment. Relapses were common and in most instances were related to failure to maintenance of topical therapy rather than to drug resistance. In selected patients topical therapy with an analog of mechlorethamine (nor-mechlorethamine) and with topical immunogenic agents provided additional improvement.

Abstract
Embichin inhibited the matrix activity of chromatin and DNA in the RNA-polymerase system in vitro much more than its monofunctional analogue. Chromatin possessed a greater sensitivity to the action of embichin in comparison with the deproteinised DNA. However, with the action of a monofunctional embichin analogue there was a greater reduction of the matrix activity of DNA in comparison with chromatin. The depression mechanism of the matrix activity of chromatin with the action of embichin was apparently associated with the capacity of the latter to form the DNA-protein bonds in the chromatin composition.

Abstract
A synthetic study was made on the active metabolite of cyclophosphamide. Ozonolysis of O-(3 butenyl)-N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)phosphorodiamidate, prepared by reaction of POC13 with 3-buten-1-ol followed by treatment with N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)amine (nor mustard) and NH3, afforded 2-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]-4-hydroperoxytetrahydro-2H-1, 3,2-oxazaphosphorine 2-oxide (4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide). Deoxygenation of 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide by triphenylphosphine yielded 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide in a pure crystalline state. These products exhibited high cytostatic activity in both in vitro and in vivo experiments. The results give confirmatory evidence for the hypothesis that C4-hydroxylation on the 1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinane ring of cyclophosphamide is necessary for its activation.

Abstract
Experiments are performed to compare the mutagenic properties of the three phosphamide esters of nitrogen mustard, cyclophosphamide (CP), ifosfamide (IF), and trofosfamide (TF), in different bacterial systems. The systems include forward mutations leading to resistance against 5-methyltryptophan (MTR) and from galR-s18 to gal-+ in Escherichia coli 343/113, back mutations from arg56 to arg-+ in Escherichia coli 343/113 and back mutations from hisG46 to his-+ in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535. CP, IF, and TF are not mutagenic per se. After biotransformation through isolated rodent liver homogenates (S-9 fraction) all three compounds exhibit mutagenic activity in the order CP smaller than IF smaller than TF. Specific activating potential of mouse liver extracts is higher than that of rat liver. Except for back mutations in S. typhimurium TA1535, all mutation systems tested show a similar pattern of induction after treatment with CP, IF, and TF. However, because gal-+ mutations are not induced by CP under conditions where arg-+ and MTR are induced, it is suggested that more than one mutational system be used in routine mutagenicity testing.
