    Notes: Abstract The mechanisms of cytotoxicity, cellular drug uptake, intracellular drug distribution, cellular pharmacokinetics, formation of arabinofuranosylcytosine triphosphate (ara-CTP), and DNA incorporation ofN 4-hexadecyl-1-β-d-arabinofuranosylcytosine (NHAC), a new lipophilic derivative of arabinofuranosylcytosine (ara-C) formulated in small unilamellar liposomes, were determined in vitro in the human leukemic cell lines K-562 and U-937. Furthermore, the induction of erythroid differentiation by NHAC was tested in K-562 cells. The cytotoxicity of NHAC in both cell lines was not influenced by the deoxycytidine (dCyd) concentration or the presence of the nucleoside-transport-blocking agent dipyridamole as demonstrated in coincubations with dCyd and/or dipyridamole, where-as in contrast, the cytotoxicity of ara-C was decreased additively by both drugs. As compared with ara-C, the uptake of NHAC displayed up to 16- and 5-fold increases in K-562 and U-937 cells, respectively, depending on the drug concentration. Studies of the drug distribution and pharmacokinetics of NHAC revealed a depot effect for NHAC in the cell membranes, resulting in half-lives 2.6 and 1.4 times longer than those of ara-C in the two cell lines. The ara-CTP concentrations derived from NHAC were 150- and 75-fold lower at a drug concentration of 1 μM in K-562 and U-937 cells, respectively. The DNA incorporation of the drugs observed after incubation with 2 μM NHAC was 60- and 30-fold lower as compared with that seen at 2 μM ara-C in the two cell lines. Furthermore, NHAC was capable of inducing irreversible erythroid differentiation to a maximum of only 22% of K-562 cells, where-as ara-C induced differentiation at a drug concentration 100-fold lower in 50% of the cells. These results indicate a mechanism of cytotoxicity for NHAC that is independent of the nucleoside transport mechanism and the phosphorylation pathway and suggest that the mechanisms of action of NHAC are significantly different from those of ara-C. Therefore, NHAC might be used for the treatment of ara-C-resistant malignancies.

    Notes: Abstract The oral cytostatic activity in L1210 mouse leukaemia of the two newN 4-alkyl derivatives of 1-β-d-arabinofuranosylcytosine (AraC),N 4-hexadecyl- andN 4-octadecyl-1-β-d-arabinofuranosylcytosine (NH- AraC, NO-AraC) was investigated. In contrast to AraC, both derivatives were highly cytostatic after oral application as liposome formulations. With treatment schedules of five consecutive dosages or with two applications on days 1 and 4 after intravenous tumour cell inoculation with a total dose of 470–1000 mg/kg NH- AraC or NO-AraC, 70%–100% of the treated animals were cured. The lethal dose in healthy ICR mice after a single intraperitoneal application, corresponding to the LD50, was 524 mg/kg for NO-AraC, whereas NH- AraC proved to be less toxic. The haematological toxicity. remained moderate for both drugs with a mild leucopenia and a drop in platelet counts, which recovered 4–6 days after treatment. The erythrocytes were not affected and haemolytic toxicities were absent. As non-haematological toxicities, at high drug concentrations, a pronounced atrophy of the rapidly dividing epithelia of the small intestines and of the white pulp of the spleen were observed. The blood levels of NH-AraC given orally reached values comparable to those after parenteral application of a four-times lower dose of NH-AraC, suggesting a moderate bioavailability. Thus, these two lipophilic derivatives of AraC are compounds with a potential for the oral treatment of malignant diseases.

    Notes: Abstract TheN 4-alkylcytosine arabinoside derivativeN 4-octadecyl-AraC (AraC-Ocd, NOAC) and the (1-octadecylglycero-3-phospho)-AraC (Ocd-GroP-AraC, OPA) conjugate are new lipophilic derivatives of the cytostatic drug 1-β-d-arabinofuranosylcytosine (AraC) that produce high antileukemic effects in the L1210 murine leukemia model when administered orally or parenterally as liposomal formulations. Between 83% and 100% of the treated animals were cured after five consecutive daily oral drug applications with a total dose of 1 mmol/kg AraC-Ocd or Ocd-GroP-AraC. Corresponding results were obtained after parenteral therapy on days 2 and 6 after tumor inoculation with five- to ten-fold lower concentrations of these two compounds. A comparable cytotoxic activity was found with the orally active AraC-5′-(n-stearyl phosphate). However, because of its strong hemolytic toxicity this derivative cannot be used for parenteral therapy. Another AraC conjugate, which was modified with two long-chain hydrocarbons, the (1-octadecylglycero-3-phospho)-N 4-hexadecyl-AraC was, probably because of poor oral bioavailability, only active when applied parenterally. The new lipophilic AraC derivatives AraC-Ocd and Ocd-GroP-AraC are compounds with a high potential for the oral treatment of leukemias and possibly also of solid tumors.

    Description / Table of Contents: The synthesis of ω-(N-acryloyl)tryptophanpeptide monomers (8) and tryptophanpeptide gels obtained by radical copolymerisation of the monomers 8 with diacrylates is described. Peptide-nucleotide interactions were studied by column chromatography employing a tryptophanpeptide gel containing five tryptophyl residues as the stationary phase. Deoxyribonucleotides are retarded only to a small extent, deoxyribonucleosides to a somewhat higher extent; adenosine is strongly retarded and well separated. These results demonstrate, that gels of peptides based on a polyacrylic matrix are suitable for the investigation of peptide-nucleotide interactions and for affinity-chromatography. Furthermore, these gels can also be used as specific sorbents for separations of nucleic acid residues on a preparative scale.
    Notes: Die Synthese von ω-(N-Acryloyl)-tryptophanpeptid-Monomeren (8) und deren radikalische Copolymerisation mit Diacrylaten zu Tryptophanpeptid-Gelen wird beschrieben. An einem Tryptophanpeptid-Gel mit fünf Tryptophyl-Resten wird die Peptid-Nukleotid-Wechselwirkung säulenchromatographisch untersucht. Hierbei werden Desoxyribonukleotide nur gering, Desoxyribonukleoside dagegen stärker retardiert. Deutlich von allen Verbindungen abgetrennt ist Adenosin. Aus den Trennergebnissen folgt, daß Peptidgele auf Polyacrylbasis zur Untersuchung der Peptid-Nukleotid-Wechselwirkung und Affinitätschromatographie geeignet sind. Darüber hinaus können diese Gele als spezifische Sorbentien zur Trennung von Nukleinsäurebausteinen auch in präparativem Maßstab verwendet werden.

    Notes: N-Anisoyl-deoxyribocytidine-5′-phosphate is chemically polycondensed. From the polycondensate, oligomers containing four or more monomeric units are isolated chromatographically and subsequently linked to a soluble polyvinylalcohol. After cleavage of the nucleobaseprotecting groups, the unreacted oligodesoxyribocytidylic acids are separated from polyvinylalcohol bound oligomers through ultrafiltration. DEAE-Cellulose is subsequently coated with this polymer-bound oligodeoxyribocytidylic acids. The now obtained PVAL-p(dC)n-DEAE-Cellulose acts as a specific sorbent in template-chromatography.

    Notes: The method of preparation of oligo(thymidine phosphate)s by chemical partial hydrolysis of herring sperm DNA is described. The DNA is degraded in three steps to a mixture of oligomeric thymidine phosphates. Homologeous thymidine phosphates of the series p(dT)1-6p; p(dT)1-7, (dT)1-7p; (dT)1-7 are isolated chromatographically from the partial hydrolysate in pure form on a preparative scale. The advantages and disadvantages of this new and simple method in comparison to complicated synthetic procedures are discussed.

    Notes: Guanylate-rich oligodeoxyribonucleotides d(G4T4), d(T4G4), d(T4G4T4), d(G4T4G4), and d(T4G4T4G4) were synthesized in amounts up to 350 mg using the triester method in solution. These oligonucleotides correspond to fragments of the terminal of macronuclear DNA from hypotrichous ciliates. The protected oligonucleotides were obtained by block-condensation of protected 5′-hydroxyl and 3′-phosphate derivatives. Mixtures of 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl chloride/N-methylimidazole or 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonyl chloride/N-methylimidazole were used as condensating agents. Different concepts of protecting the nucleotides were investigated and it was found that yields and purities of the resulting oligonucleotides do not depend essentially on the employed concept. The 36mer d(G4T4G4T4G4T4G4T4G4) was obtained by enzymatic phosphorylation of aliquots of the dodecamers d(G4T4G4) and d(T4G4T4), followed by ligation with T4 DNA ligase.

    Notes: The ester groups of copolymer beads, prepared from methyl acrylate and 1,4-bis(vinyloxy)-butane, were substituted by aminolysis with hexamethylenediamine or aminoalcohols. The resulting gel carrying amino groups was transferred into an anion exchanger by alkylation with 2-chloroethanol or into a cation exchanger by reaction with succinic anhydride. Hydrazinolysis of the starting copolymer beads resulted in gels with hydrazide groups which subsequently can be derivatized. Gels with hydroxyl groups linked to the matrix by means of spacers were obtained by reaction of the succinylated gels with 2-aminoethanol. Phosphorylation of these hydroxyl groups afforded strongly acidic cation exchangers. The yields of the derivatized products are higher and the preparations are easier than those of the known methods. The 11 gel derivatives synthesized from the starting gel are mechanically stable, resistent to hydrolysis in the pH range between 1 and 14, chemically stable at temperatures up to 130°C and obtainable with a variety of pore sizes. The derivatized, cross-linked polymer beads, applicable in aqueous systems as well as in organic solvents, should find application in chromatography, in solid-phase synthesis and as basic gels in biotechnical processes.

    Notes: Protected nucleic acid components were coupled to eight differently functionalized bead copolymers, prepared from methyl acrylate and 1,4-bis(vinyloxy)butane, via amid-, urea-, phosphotriester- or carboxylic acid ester linkages. The immobilization was performed by methods used in nucleic acid chemistry. The obtained gels carry 1 to 300 μmol per gram of nucleoside or nucleotide derivatives. The yield of derivatization was found to be first of all determined by steric effects of the gel matrix, the size of the nucleic acid component and the route of synthesis selected. Anchor groups, arranged via long spacers, were not effective for the immobilization of nucleic acid components. A “carboxylate-gel” which can immobilize 300 μmol per gram of a nucleoside derivative may serve as support in the solid phase synthesis of oligonucleotides in large scale.
