ABSTRACT
Mitomycin C (MC), an anti-cancer drug, and its analog, decarbamoylmitomycin C (DMC), are DNA-alkylating agents. MC is currently used in the clinics and its cytotoxicity is mainly due to its ability to form Interstrand Crosslinks (ICLs) which impede DNA replication and, thereby, block cancer cells proliferation. However, both MC and DMC are also able to generate monoadducts with DNA. In particular, we recently discovered that DMC, like MC, can form deoxyadenosine (dA) monoadducts with DNA. The biological role played by these monoadducts is worthy of investigation. To probe the role of these adducts and to detect them in enzymatic digests of DNA extracted from culture cells treated by both drugs, we need access to reference compounds i.e. MC and DMC dA-mononucleoside adducts. Previous biomimetic methods used to generate MC and DMC mononucleoside adducts are cumbersome and very low yielding. Here, we describe the diastereospecific chemical synthesis of both C-1 epimers of MC and DMC deoxyadenosine adducts. The key step of the synthesis involves an aromatic substitution reaction between a 6-fluoropurine 2'-deoxyribonucleoside and appropriately protected stereoisomeric triaminomitosenes to form protected-MC-dA adducts with either an S or R stereochemical configuration at the adenine-mitosene linkage. Fluoride-based deprotection methods generated the final four reference compounds the two stereoisomeric MC-dA adducts and the two stereoisomeric DMC-dA adducts. The MC and DMC-dA adducts synthesized here will serve as standards for the detection and identification of such adducts formed in the DNA of culture cells treated with both drugs.
