Abstract

Three components differing by their properties from the carminomycins described earlier were isolated from the carminomycin complex. Comparison of the IR and UV spectra, as well as chromatographic and physicochemical properties of 2 of them showed that they were dihydrocarminomycin and its aglycone or dihydrocarminomycinone, which was prepared earlier by synthesis. The third component was a chromophore belonging to 1,4,6-trihydroxyanthraquinone. Investigation of its IR spectrum, physicochemica properties and PMR spectrum showed it to be carboxymethylethylcarminomycinone identical to epsilon-rodomycinone. The data were confirmed by 13C-NMR spectrometry.

Partial purification and properties of carminomycin 4-O-methyltransferase from Streptomyces sp. strain C5.

A methyltransferase that acts on carminomycin and 13-dihydrocarminomycin, and that is postulated to be the terminal enzyme in the daunomycin biosynthesis pathway, was purified to near-homogeneity from the daunomycin- and baumycin-producing Streptomyces sp. strain C5. The enzyme was obtained in approximately 5% yield with a purification of 114-fold in specific activity over the sample precipitated with 30-50% ammonium sulphate. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions indicated a subunit M(r) of about 41,000. The enzyme was shown by gel filtration chromatography to have an M(r) of approximately 166,000, suggesting that it is a homotetramer. Kinetic analysis indicated an affinity for S-adenosyl-L-methionine typical of antibiotic methyltransferases; the enzyme had a slightly higher affinity for carminomycin than for 13-dihydrocarminomycin. The reaction product from methylation of carminomycin was confirmed by chromatography and mass spectral analysis to be daunomycin. The purified enzyme did not catalyse methylation of the aglycones carminomycinone or 13-dihydrocarminomycinone. S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine inhibited the methyltransferase, whereas homocysteine, adenosine, adenine, epsilon-rhodomycinone, daunomycin, and daunomycinone showed little or no inhibitory activity.

Effect of carminomycin on the viability of fibroblasts from patients with regular trisomy 21.

The sensitivity of three human fibroblast lines, trisomic with respect to chromosome 21, to an anthracycline antibiotic carminomycin was compared with that of a normal fibroblast line using a 51Cr release assay. It was found that for an intermediate antibiotic concentration (10 microM) the sensitivity of trisomic fibroblasts, of increased content of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase was lower. These results suggest a role for superoxide-mediated membrane damage in the cytotoxic action of anthracycline antibiotics.

[Synthesis and mass-spectrometric analysis of N-cycloalkyl derivatives of carminomycin, daunorubicin and their analogs].

Condensation of carminomycin or daunorubicin with glutaric dialdehyde in the presence of NaBH3CN yielded 3'-deamino-3'-piperidinocarminomycin or 3'-deamino-3'-piperidinodaunorubicin and corresponding (13-R, S)-dihydroderivatives. To prepare similar derivatives of 14-hydroxycarminomycin or doxorubicin, 13-dimethylketals of 14-bromocarminomycin or 13-bromodaunorubicin were used in the reaction of reductive alkylation with glutaric or glycolic dialdehyde to give 3'-deamino-3'-piperidino- or 3'-deamino-3'-morpholino derivatives of 13-dimethylketals of 14-bromocarminomycin or daunorubicin, respectively. After deblocking and subsequent hydrolysis of these compounds 3'-deamino-3'-piperidino- and 3'-deamino-3'-morpholino derivatives of 13-hydroxycarminomycin or doxorubicin were prepared. Reduction of the antibiotic derivatives under mass spectrometry conditions was demonstrated.
