Mechanisms of Anthracycline-Enhanced Reactive Oxygen Metabolism in Tumor Cells. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:9474823. [PMID: 31885826 PMCID: PMC6914999 DOI: 10.1155/2019/9474823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2019] [Accepted: 11/11/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
In this investigation, we examined the effect of anthracycline antibiotics on oxygen radical metabolism in Ehrlich tumor cells. In tumor microsomes and nuclei, doxorubicin increased superoxide anion production in a dose-dependent fashion that appeared to follow saturation kinetics; the apparent K m and V max for superoxide formation by these organelles was 124.9 μM and 22.6 nmol/min/mg, and 103.4 μM and 4.8 nmol/min/mg, respectively. In both tumor microsomes and nuclei, superoxide formation required NADPH as a cofactor, was accompanied by the formation of hydrogen peroxide, and resulted from the transfer of electrons from NADPH to the doxorubicin quinone by NADPH:cytochrome P-450 reductase (NADPH:ferricytochrome oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.2.4). Anthracycline antibiotics also significantly enhanced superoxide anion production by tumor mitochondria with an apparent K m and V max for doxorubicin of 123.2 μM and 14.7 nmol/min/mg. However, drug-stimulated superoxide production by mitochondria required NADH and was increased by rotenone, suggesting that the proximal portion of the electron transport chain in tumor cells was responsible for reduction of the doxorubicin quinone at this site. The net rate of drug-related oxygen radical production was also determined for intact Ehrlich tumor cells; in this system, treatment with doxorubicin produced a dose-related increase in cyanide-resistant respiration that was enhanced by changes in intracellular reducing equivalents. Finally, we found that in the presence of iron, treatment with doxorubicin significantly increased the production of formaldehyde from dimethyl sulfoxide, an indication that the hydroxyl radical could be produced by intact tumor cells following anthracycline exposure. These experiments suggest that the anthracycline antibiotics are capable of significantly enhancing oxygen radical metabolism in Ehrlich tumor cells at multiple intracellular sites by reactions that could contribute to the cytotoxicity of this class of drugs.

Abstract
As a broad-spectrum preservative, toxic o-phenylphenol (OPP) was frequently detected in aquatic environments. In this study, N-doped mesoporous carbon was prepared by a hard template method using different nitrogen precursors and carbonization temperatures (i.e., 700, 850 and 1000 °C), and was used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for OPP degradation. For comparison, mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) was also prepared. Characterization results showed that the N-doped mesoporous carbon samples prepared under different conditions were perfect replica of their template. In comparison with ethylenediamine (EDA) and dicyandiamide (DCDA) as the precursors, N-doped mesoporous carbon prepared using EDA and carbon tetrachloride as the precursors displayed a higher catalytic activity for OPP degradation. Increasing carbonization temperature of N-doped mesoporous carbon led to decreased N content and increased graphitic N content at the expense of pyridinic and pyrrolic N. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis showed that PMS activation on N-doped mesoporous carbon resulted in highly active species and singlet oxygen, and catalytic PMS activation for OPP degradation followed a combined radical and nonradical reaction mechanism. Increasing PMS concentration enhanced OPP degradation, while OPP degradation rate was independent on initial OPP concentration. Furthermore, the dependency of OPP degradation on PMS concentration followed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model, reflecting that the activation of adsorbed PMS was the rate controlling step. Based on the analysis by time-of-flight mass spectrometry, the degradation pathway of OPP was proposed.

Something Old, New, Borrowed, Blue: Anthracenedione Agents for Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis. Clin Neuropharmacol 2016; 39:102-11.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to present anthracenedione agents that have been used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS), problems related to their use, and knowledge gained from our experiences using these agents to develop more efficacious drugs with fewer adverse effects. METHODS We review preclinical and clinical data during the development mitoxantrone, an anthracycline, for the treatment of MS; benefits and potential risks; and strategies to reduce complications of anthracyclines. RESULTS Mitoxantrone had unacceptable and greater-than-anticipated toxicity for use in a chronic disease such as MS. Adverse effects included cardiotoxicity, treatment-associated leukemia, and amenorrhea. Toxicity was identified primarily in retrospect. Structurally related compounds include pixantrone (BBR2278) and BBR3378. Pixantrone is in clinical development in oncology. BBR3378 prevents the development of autoimmunity and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and blocks experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis even when given after the onset of autoimmunity. CONCLUSIONS There remains a need for effective MS treatment, particularly for nonrelapsing forms of MS. Mitoxantrone was the first nonbiologic drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in MS. Chromophore modification of anthracenedione agents yielded a novel class of DNA binding agents (aza-anthracenediones such as pixantrone and aza-anthrapyrazoles such as BBR3378) with the potential for less cardiotoxicity compared with mitoxantrone. There is a need for long-term observation for delayed toxicity among humans enrolled in pixantrone trials. Preclinical toxicity studies for delayed toxicities in rodents and other models are warranted before consideration of derivatives of anthracenediones, aza-anthrazenediones, or aza-anthrapyrazoles for use in human MS clinical trials.

Abstract
There is evidence that the interaction of the α-ketol group of the Doxorubicin and Epirubicin anti-cancer drugs with Fe(III) generates hydroxyl radicals under aerobic conditions, causing cardiotoxicity in patients. Considering that the formation of DNA adducts is one of the main targets of Anthracycline drugs, we have in the present study characterized several [Anthracycline-DNA]Fe(III) complexes with respect to their stability and Fe(III) coordination, by means of MD simulations. Iron is found to coordinate well to the drugs containing an α-ketol group, this being the only group of the drug that binds to the metal. The complexes containing an α-ketol group, [Doxorubicin-DNA]Fe(III) and [Epirubicin-DNA]Fe(III), thus show greater stability than those not containing it, i.e., [Daunorubicin-DNA]Fe(III), [Idarubicin-DNA]Fe(III) and [5-Imino-Daunorubicin]Fe(III). Metal attachment to the α-ketol group is furthermore facilitated by the phosphate groups of DNA. The coordination to iron in the [Doxorubicin-DNA]Fe(III) system is smaller than that found for the [Epirubicin-DNA]Fe(III) system, and the corresponding number of coordinating waters in the former is larger than in the latter. This may in turn result in higher hydroxyl radical production, thus explaining the increased cardiotoxicity noted for Doxorubicin.

Abstract
Coenzyme Q10 has emerged as a valuable molecule for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. Therefore, research into producing and optimizing coenzyme Q10 via microbial fermentation is ongoing. There are two major paths being explored for maximizing production of this molecule to commercially advantageous levels. The first entails using microbes that naturally produce coenzyme Q10 as fermentation biocatalysts and optimizing the fermentation parameters in order to reach industrial levels of production. However, the natural coenzyme Q10-producing microbes tend to be intractable for industrial fermentation settings. The second path to coenzyme Q10 production being explored is to engineer Escherichia coli with the ability to biosynthesize this molecule in order to take advantage of its more favourable fermentation characteristics and the well-understood array of genetic tools available for this bacteria. Although many studies have attempted to over-produce coenzyme Q10 in E. coli through genetic engineering, production titres still remain below those of the natural coenzyme Q10-producing microorganisms. Current research is providing the knowledge needed to alleviate the bottlenecks involved in producing coenzyme Q10 from an E. coli strain platform and the fermentation parameters that could dramatically increase production titres from natural microbial producers. Synthesizing the lessons learned from both approaches may be the key towards a more cost-effective coenzyme Q10 industry.

Abstract
In an attempt to improve current therapeutic strategies for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), we studied the effects of a commercially available drug, dexrazoxane (DEX), which protects against anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. The rationale was that DEX would permit higher doses of cardiotoxic drugs to be given. The drug itself may have therapeutic potential as well. Finally, there are concerns that the drug may, as a protective agent, diminish the effectiveness of various chemotherapeutics. To help resolve the question about potential drug antagonism, we undertook a series of in vitro analyses of DEX and various combinations with anthracyclines and other agents. Colony-forming assays were used to evaluate stem-cell renewal of myeloid cells in vitro, and median-effect analysis was used to evaluate antagonism, synergism, and additivity. The anthracyclines doxorubicin, daunorubicin, and idarubicin were individually combined with DEX to study in vitro effects in leukemic myeloid cell lines. In the hope, we could extend the findings to non-anthracyclines, etoposide and cytosine arabinoside were also evaluated in combination with DEX using the same in vitro model and method. We found that the effects of DEX in combination with any of the anthracyclines were schedule dependent. The antitumor effect was greater for each combination than for any anthracycline alone except when DEX was administered 24h before doxorubicin or daunorubicin. These data were corroborated through median-effect analysis. Etoposide in combination with DEX was synergistic for all combinations and schedules, and the combination of cytosine arabinoside and DEX was effective depending on the schedule used. DEX appears to be a promising drug in the treatment of AML and warrants further clinical study involving novel drug combinations.

Abstract
Due to the widespread use of anthracyclines as antitumor agents, a large number of investigations have been reported analyzing clinical and molecular aspects of these quinone antibiotics. While the high affinity of anthracyclines towards chromosomal DNA has been held responsible for their antitumor activity, an increasing amount of data is being accumulated showing that these drugs also target mitochondria thus interfering with major mitochondrial functions. Since this toxicity of anthracyclines towards mitochondria is associated with side effects significantly limiting their chemotherapeutic dose, the corresponding underlying mechanisms need to be understood. Bioenergetic failure, enzyme inhibitions, lipid peroxidations, induction of membrane disorders as well as the initiation of oxidative stress are being attributed to the accumulation of anthracyclines at or inside mitochondria. In this review the wide spectrum of possible mode of actions of these antibiotics leading to mitochondrial dysfunctions will be presented and discussed.

Abstract
Comparisons were made of the toxic effects produced in the heart, kidney and small intestine of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) by the administration of 12 consecutive weekly doses of doxorubicin (1 mg/kg), and high, intermediate and low doses of piroxantrone (3, 1.5 and 0.75 mg/kg) and losoxantrone (1, 0.5 and 0.25 mg/kg). Animals receiving saline were used as controls. The toxicities of the three drugs were evaluated by clinical chemistry and hematological determinations, light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The severity of the histologic alterations in heart, kidney and small intestine was assessed semiquantitatively. Biochemical and molecular modeling studies were made to evaluate the formation of complexes of Fe(III) with piroxantrone and losoxantrone. The cardiac (myofibrillar loss and dilatation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum) and renal (glomerular vacuolization, tubular damage and laboratory evidence of a nephrotic syndrome) lesions induced by all three agents had similar features. However, the cardiac lesions induced by losoxantrone and doxorubicin were significantly more severe (Billingham scores) than those produced by piroxantrone. The renal lesions induced by piroxantrone and losoxantrone were less severe than those produced by doxorubicin. Similarly losoxantrone and piroxantrone-induced intestinal alterations (denudation of epithelial layer and inflammatory cellular infiltration) were less severe than those occurring after treatment with doxorubicin. Both losoxantrone and piroxantrone were shown to form Fe(III): drug complexes that may cause oxidative damage to various tissues.

Abstract
The redox capacities of p-benzoquinone (I) and its analogs p-benzoquinone imine (VI) and p-benzoquinone diimine (XI) as the simplest model systems for the biochemically important quinone site of the pharmacophores of the anthracyclines has been investigated by AM1 semi-empirical and ab initio methods. The reductive activation of the parent (Q) model systems to their various redox states (quinone radical anion (Q.-), semiquinone (QH.), semiquinone anion (QH-) and hydroquinone (QH2)), the internal geometrical reorganization and the redox capacities of the redox states have been examined by using energy-partitioning analysis, reaction enthalpies/energies for electron and proton attachments, adiabatic ionization potentials (IPad) and electron affinities (EAad), adiabatic electronegativities (Xad), dipole moments, electrostatic potentials and spin-density surfaces. EAad data and results of energy-partitioning analysis suggest that the one-electron Q to Q.- reducibility of VI is diminished when compared to that of I. The data also predict that reduction to QH., QH- and QH2 is more favorable in VI (cf. I). Deprotonation enthalpy/energy calculations predict that the oxidizability of the reduced forms of VI is diminished when compared to I. Overall, the calculations suggest that the redox cycling of VI should be diminished if deprotonation is the first step of the autoxidation of the reduced forms. The results suggest that the electron affinity of Q and deprotonation of the reduced forms (e.g., QH.) may play important roles in the redox cycling of the anthracyclines. It is further suggested that these same factors are probably responsible for the reduced toxicity of 5-iminodaunomycin, which consists of VI as part of its pharmacophore. A comparison of the AM1 results with ab initio results suggests that the AM1 method is capable of predicting trends in redox capacity, nucleophilicity, electrophilicity and electron affinity in the systems investigated.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (dox) is an anthracycline antibiotic which is broadly used in solid tumors. Long-term therapy with this drug is accompanied by potentially lethal, dose-dependent side effects. Several reports suggest that oxygen free radicals produced during the metabolic activation of dox may have toxic effects on heart muscle. We tried to protect dox cardiotoxicity in rats using catechin which is a known antioxidant and iron chelating agent. Different dose levels and combinations of catechin and doxorubicin have been studied in different experimental groups. Electrocardiograms, myocardial contractility, body weight and the electron microscope were used to assess the cardioprotective effect of catechin in dox-treated animals. We found significant prevention of dox-induced cardiotoxicity by catechin in rats.

Abstract
Adriamycin, an anticancer agent acting on topoisomerase II, promotes the arrest of cell division and neurite extension in a "neurite-minus" murine neuroblastoma cell line, N1A-103. This morphological differentiation is accompanied by a blockade in the S phase of the cell cycle, modification of the amount of peripherin, and appearance of the beta 7-tubulin isoform. Yet, adriamycin-induced N1A-103 cells fail to express other neuronal markers, such as long-lasting Ca2+ channels, synaptophysin, and the shift in the proportion of the beta'1 tubulin isoform to the beta'2 isoform, whose appearance parallels the terminal differentiation of the wild type neuroblastoma cell line N1E-115. Hence, a comparison of the behavior of these two cell lines leads to the proposal that there are two programs of neuroblastoma differentiation: one where expression is triggered by the arrest of cell division and which is observed in adriamycin-induced N1A-103 variant cells, and the other, presumably occurring further downstream, which would involve further changes in morphogenesis and acquisition of new electrophysiological properties.

Abstract
Anaerobic reduction of hydrogen peroxide in a xanthine/xanthine oxidase system by adriamycin semiquinone in the presence of chelators and radical scavengers was investigated by direct electron paramagnetic resonance and spin trapping techniques. Under these conditions, adriamycin semiquinone appears to react with hydrogen peroxide forming the hydroxyl radical in the presence of chelators such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid. In the absence of chelators, a related, but unknown oxidant is formed. In the presence of desferrioxamine, adriamycin semiquinone does not disappear in the presence of hydrogen peroxide at a detectable rate. The presence of adventitious iron is therefore implicated during adriamycin semiquinone-catalyzed reduction of hydrogen peroxide. Formation of alpha-hydroxyethyl radical and carbon dioxide radical anion from ethanol and formate, respectively, was detected by spin trapping. Both the hydroxyl radical and the related oxidant react with these scavengers, forming the corresponding radical. In the presence of scavengers from which reducing radicals are formed, the rate of consumption of hydrogen peroxide in this system is increased. This result can be explained by a radical-driven Fenton reaction.

Abstract
The dihydroxy etoposide, a metabolite of the clinically active anticancer drug, VP-16, induced extensive DNA damage in the presence of copper ions. While superoxide dismutase was without any effect on the DNA damage, catalase and inhibitors of free hydroxyl radicals inhibited the DNA degradation, indicating that hydroxyl radicals were responsible for this drug-Cu-dependent DNA damage.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested that the selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase, in the presence of reducing equivalents from the tripeptide glutathione, is responsible for detoxifying hydrogen peroxide and lipid hydroperoxides generated as a consequence of the cyclic reduction and oxidation of quinone-containing anticancer agents including doxorubicin, daunorubicin, mitomycin C, diaziquone, and menadione. Alterations in the intracellular levels of glutathione peroxidase or glutathione can significantly affect the activity of these drugs against human tumor cells and the expression of their normal tissue toxicity, especially with respect to the heart. Furthermore, augmentation of the glutathione peroxidase pathway appears to render certain human tumor cells relatively resistant to the anticancer quinones; therefore, the glutathione peroxidase system may, at least in part, modulate certain forms of acquired drug resistance in man. Thus, the glutathione peroxidase cycle appears to play a central role in maintaining intracellular peroxide homeostasis during quinone-induced oxidative stress.

Abstract
5-Iminodaunomycin, an anthracycline antitumor drug exhibiting an absorption peak at 595 nm, is shown to photosensitize in vitro cell kill. The photoactivation is performed irradiating the culture dishes during the incubation with the drug for 2 h with 34 mW/cm2 intensity, that is with light doses of up to 245 J/cm2. Long-term effects of administering 50 ng/ml and light for 2 h are studied in terms of growth curves. We show that photoactivation enhances the dark toxicity by a factor of about 10. Immediate cell death is produced by irradiating the cells in the presence of higher drug concentrations (e.g., 1000 ng/ml) which, however, are not toxic in the short term if administered in the dark. The viable cell percentage decreases at increasing light doses, being about 0.6% at the maximum dosage. Administering lower light doses, such as 30 J/cm2, which corresponds to an exposure duration of 15 min, has a short-term effect on the cell survival that strongly depends on the timing of the exposures within the incubation period.

Abstract
Adriamycin and mitomycin C were reduced by xanthine oxidase/NADH in the presence of a DNA template comprising a stable initiated ternary transcription complex derived from the lac UV5 promoter. Subsequent elongation of the transcription complex treated with mitomycin C revealed high levels of terminated transcripts one nucleotide prior to G residues on the coding strand (i.e. at X of XpC sequences of the non-coding strand). Lower levels of termination occurred with adriamycin, and these were also one nucleotide prior to G residues of the coding strand, but with greater sequence specificity since they were observed mainly at G of GpC sequences of the non-coding strand. The same sites were also observed with adriamycin in the absence of reducing conditions and the level of termination at these sites was enhanced up to 10-fold by Fe2+ and Fe3+, but not by Cu2+, Zn2+, Co2+ or Ni2+. These results suggest that an iron-adriamycin complex with DNA is highly sequence-specific and results in adducts, similar to those of mitomycin C, which can terminate the transcription process. Such a mechanism offers new insights into the possible mode of action of anthracyclines.

Abstract
This review examines the formation of free radical intermediates from a number of clinically active antitumor agents including quinone-containing antibiotics and etoposide. An attempt is also made to relate the formation of these reactive intermediates to biochemical and pharmacological basis for tumor cell kill and resistance. The formation of these intermediates in some tumor cells has been detected by both direct ESR and spin-trapping technique. The detection of free radicals in biological systems, however, depends upon cellular bioenvironments, e.g. reducing conditions, and the presence and/or absence of activation and detoxification mechanisms. Evidence shows that certain antitumor drugs generate free radicals in vitro and in vivo and that these reactive species kill tumor cells by causing damage to DNA, membranes or enzymes.

Abstract
Quinones are among the most frequently used drugs to treat human cancer. All of the antitumor quinones can undergo reversible enzymatic reduction and oxidation, and form semiquinone and oxygen radicals. For several antitumor quinones enzymatic reduction also leads to formation of alkylating species but whether this involves reduction to the semiquinone or the hydroquinone is not always clear. The antitumor activity of quinones is frequently linked to DNA damage caused by alkylating species or oxygen radicals. Some other effects of the antitumor quinones, such as cardiotoxicity and skin toxicity, may also be related to oxygen radical formation. The evidence for a relationship between radical formation and the biological activity of the antitumor quinones is evaluated.

Abstract
The dihydroxy derivative of VP-16 (DHVP), a novel metabolite of the clinically active antitumor drug VP-16, was cytotoxic to human breast tumor cells. It was found that DHVP chelates iron and catalyzes the formation of hydroxyl radicals from hydrogen peroxide and reduced glutathione. Ethanol, polyethylene glycol and t-butanol inhibited the formation of DMPO-OH, suggesting that perferryl iron was not involved in OH' formation. Under conditions which formed hydroxyl radicals, DHVP also induced nicking of SV40 DNA, suggesting that the mechanism of tumor cell killing by DHVP may involve iron-dependent free radical formation.
