Abstract
The hypoxic nature of cells within solid tumors limits the efficacy of anticancer therapies such as ionizing radiation and conventional radiomimetics because their mechanisms require oxygen to induce lethal DNA breaks. For example, the conventional radiomimetic enediyne neocarzinostatin is 4-fold less cytotoxic to cells maintained in low oxygen (hypoxic) compared with normoxic conditions. By contrast, the enediyne C-1027 was nearly 3-fold more cytotoxic to hypoxic than to normoxic cells. Like other radiomimetics, C-1027 induced DNA breaks to a lesser extent in cell-free, or cellular hypoxic, compared with normoxic environments. However, the unique DNA interstrand cross-linking ability of C-1027 was markedly enhanced under the same hypoxic conditions that reduced its DNA break induction. Although the unique chemistry of C-1027 allows it to concurrently generate both DNA breaks and cross-links in normoxic cells, a low oxygen environment represses the former and promotes the latter. Thus, treatment with C-1027 offers a facile approach for overcoming the radioresistance associated with poorly oxygenated cells.

Abstract
The enediyne anti-tumour antibiotics are extremely potent cytotoxins, apparently because of their conversion to diradical species which induce DNA double strand breaks with high efficiency. The potency of enediynes suggests their possible utility as effector units for prodrugs which can be activated selectively in tumours, such as bioreductive drugs (BD) or radiation-activated cytotoxins (RAC). However, the similarity of the radical-induced DNA breakage reactions of the enediynes to those caused by ionising radiation suggested that resistance of hypoxic cells might be a potential problem. Experiments with AA8 cells in culture demonstrated that the enediyne antibiotics neocarzinostatin and esperamicin A, (ESP) are much less toxic under hypoxic than aerobic conditions. Sensitivity to ESP (concentration for 90% cell kill 10 pM) decreased 15-fold under hypoxia, and was partially restored by simultaneous exposure to misonidazole. ESP induced chromosome breakage (micronucleus formation) with an efficiency similar to gamma radiation at equivalent cell kill, suggesting a clastogenic mechanism of cytotoxicity. In contrast, little micronucleus formation was evident after exposure to ESP under hypoxia, even at concentrations giving equivalent cell killing. These findings suggest that resistance of hypoxic cells may limit the utility of enediynes as cytotoxic effectors for BD or RAC prodrug development, and that further investigation of enediynes as anti-tumour agents should include strategies capable of eliminating hypoxic cells.

Abstract
The rate constants for reactions of hydroxyl radicals with a number of alkyl phosphates have been determined by competition with KSCN. Hydroxyl radicals react with alkyl phosphates preferentially by H-abstraction at the alpha-position of the phosphate functions. The resulting alpha-phosphatoalkyl radicals are not very efficient one-electron reducing agents towards nitro compounds. They react with tetranitromethane (TNM) by addition to form adduct intermediates with absorption maxima at about 300 nm. The rate constants for decay of these TNM adducts to produce the nitroform anion (NF-) and the corresponding alpha-phosphato-alcohols have been determined by optical and/or conductance detection. The stability of these TNM adducts varies considerably with the chain length (methyl > ethyl > isopropyl) and number (trialkyl > dialkyl > monoalkyl) of the alkyl substituents. Additional formation of proton during or after the decay of the TNM adducts has been tentatively attributed to the hydrolysis of the alpha-phosphato-alcohols. Alpha-Phosphatoalkyl radicals derived from trimethyl, triethyl, triisopropyl, and diethyl phosphates react with p-nitroacetophenone (PNAP) very slowly (k < 5 x 10(7) dm3mol-1S-1) possibly forming adducts. One-electron reduction of PNAP by these radicals to PNAP.- was not observed under pulse radiolysis conditions. The rate constants for the reactions of .OH with glycerol 1-phosphate and glycerol 2-phosphate have been redetermined by competition with KSCN. Using the radical scavengers N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) and TNM, the percentage of .OH attack at each carbon atom was obtained. Contrary to the simple alkyl phosphates described above, the alpha-position to the phosphate function is the least favoured (10-15% in glycerol 1-phosphate and 6% in glycerol 2-phosphate). These so-formed alpha-phosphatoalkyl radicals react with TNM also by forming adducts. The beta-phosphatoalkyl radicals in both cases eliminate inorganic phosphate on formation (k > 10(6)S-1). The gamma-phosphatoalkyl radical from glycerol 1-phosphate undergoes base-catalysed water elimination (kobs = 1.8 x 10(5)S-1 at pH 10.6) to give an oxidizing radical. Products in the gamma-radiolysis of N2O-saturated solutions of glycerol 1-phosphate and glycerol 2-phosphate have been identified and their yields determined. The mechanisms for their formation are discussed.

Abstract
Double-strand (DS) DNA damage caused by neocarzinostatin (NCS) has been studied in the trinucleotide AGT-ACT sequence in an AP-1 transcription factor binding site. There are strong similarities between bistranded lesions produced at AGT.ACT and AGC-GCT, including the fact that DS lesions outnumber SS lesions on the AGT and AGC strands, while SS exceed DS on the ACT and GCT strands. Structure-function studies revealed that a variety of different thiols produced bistranded lesions in this model by predominantly C4'-hydrogen atom abstraction (84-93%) at the T of AGT and C5'-hydrogen atom abstraction (87-91%) at the T of ACT. Single-strand (SS) lesions were found to represent a variable mixture of C4' and C5' chemistry. The C4'-hydroxylated abasic site occurred in both SS and DS lesions at both sites and accounted for most of the DS damage at AGT (60-83%); the remaining damage consisted of 3'-phosphoglycolate- and 3'-phosphate-ended fragments. The nature of the thiol was found to affect the partitioning of the breakdown products arising from C4' and, to a lesser extent, C5' hydrogen atom abstraction. Production of 3'-phosphoglycolate residues, restricted mainly to the T of AGT in bistranded lesions, correlated with the incidence of direct DS breaks in the AGT.ACT model and in plasmid DNA and appeared to be influenced by the reducing power of the thiol activator. Furthermore, hydrazine and sodium borohydride both inhibited the formation of glycolate, an effect that was exploited to determine the rate constant for 3'-phosphoglycolate formation: 0.06 min-1 at 0 degree C, pH 7.4. Under anaerobic conditions, the nitroaromatic radiation sensitizer misonidazole caused a large increase in glycolate production in both SS and DS lesions formed by NCS, which suggests that the formation of 3'-phosphoglycolate, like 3'-formylphosphate generated by C5' chemistry, involves an oxyradical intermediate. The pathways for DNA damage involving C4' and C5' hydrogen atom abstraction thus share many common features, several of which are consistent with a mechanism for the production of NCS-mediated bistranded lesions at AGT.ACT that involves a tetraoxide bridge joining the lesions on opposite strands of DNA.

Abstract
Neocarzinostatin (NCS) is an enediyne antitumor antibiotic that cleaves DNA following a thiol-induced electronic rearrangement to a diradical form. Structure-function studies with 11 thiol-containing compounds were undertaken to clarify the role of the thiol in NCS-mediated DNA damage. The rates of activation of NCS in the presence of DNA with the various thiols approximated a Brønsted relation (beta = 0.43, r2 = 0.86), which suggests that the basicity/nucleophilicity of the thiol is important to NCS activation. However, an additional contribution to NCS activation may arise from the affinity of the thiol for DNA, since there is a correlation between the concentration of thiol producing maximal DNA damage, assessed by quantitating the topologic forms of plasmid pBR322 following treatment with NCS, and the apparent ability of the thiol to bind to DNA by hydrophobic or electrostatic interactions. The overall second-order rate constants for the activation of NCS were found to be inversely correlated with the thiol optima; a plot of the former versus the reciprocal of the optimal thiol concentration revealed a first-order rate constant of activation of 0.013 s-1 in the presence of DNA. This indicates that maximal DNA damage occurs when NCS is activated with a half-life of 52 s, a relatively slow rate of activation that suggests that NCS binds to DNA before undergoing activation by thiol. Finally, an analysis of strand breaks in pBR322 shows that thiols possessing a carboxylate moiety produce larger quantities of bistranded DNA lesions than their esterified or non-carboxylate-containing counterparts.

Abstract
The effects of neocarzinostatin (NCS), an anti-tumour drug, on the repair of potentially lethal damage (PLD) were studied using cultured Chinese hamster V79, malignant human melanoma and mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells in the stationary phase. The repair of PLD was observed in the melanoma and L5178Y cells but no such repair was observed in the V79 cells, when studied by delayed plating. NCS added to the culture medium immediately after X-irradiation evoked fixation of PLD within 10 min of the addition of NCS. The ratios of D0 values of the survival curves of the cells treated with NCS to those plated immediately after X-irradiation were 0.78, 0.88 and 0.85 for V79, melanoma and L5178Y cells, respectively. The extent of the fixation by NCS was similar to that caused by 0.5 M NaCl solution. The results in the present study and the inhibition of sublethal damage (SLD) by NCS reported previously, suggest that NCS might react with the DNA damage induced by radiation and modify it to lethal damage. The study indicates that SLD and PLD appear to be closely related to one another.

Abstract
The enhancement of radiosensitivity by neocarzinostatin (NCS), an antitumour drug, was studied using three strains of cultured mammalian cells with different repair capabilities for sublethal damage. NCS enhanced the radiosensitivity of the cells when applied both during and after X-irradiation under aerobic conditions. The enhancement ratios of NCS during X-irradiation were 1.25, 1.27 and 1.38 for mouse lymphoma L5178Y, Chinese hamster V79 and mouse mammary tumour FM 3A cells, respectively. The corresponding ratios after X-irradiation were 1.18, 1.27 and 1.38, respectively. These ratios were proportional to the repair capabilities of the cells for sublethal damage. NCS completely inhibited the repair of sublethal damage regardless of the repair capabilities of the cells for sublethal damage. NCS was equally effective for hypoxic cells. These results suggested that NCS enhanced the radiosensitivity of the cells probably by interacting with the residual damage after X-irradiation, thereby converting the sublethal damage or potentially lethal damage into lethal damage.

Abstract
Mechanisms based on one-electron oxidation appear incomplete in explaining cellular radiosensitization by nitroaromatic compounds such as misonidazole. Evidence is presented for a novel mechanism that may be involved in enhancing DNA strand breakage due to a variety of agents, including ionizing radiation, that generate carbon-centered radicals on DNA deoxyribose. Under anaerobic conditions the carbon-centered radical generated selectively at C-5' of deoxyribose of thymidylate residues in DNA by the antitumor antibiotic neocarzinostatin reacts with misonidazole to produce a DNA damage product in the form of 3'-(formyl phosphate)-ended DNA. In an 18O-transfer experiment we find that the carbonyl oxygen of the activated formyl moiety (trapped as formyl-Tris) is derived from the nitro group oxygen of misonidazole. This result strongly supports a mechanism in which a nitroxide radical adduct, formed by the addition of misonidazole to the radical at C-5' of deoxyribose, cleaves between the N and O so as to form an oxy radical precursor of the formyl moiety and a two-electron reduction species of misonidazole.

Abstract
Under anaerobic conditions where the nitroaromatic radiation-sensitizer misonidazole substitutes for dioxygen, DNA strand breakage (gaps with phosphate residues at each end) by the nonprotein chromophore of the antitumor antibiotic neocarzinostatin (NCS-Chrom) is associated with the generation of a reactive form of formate from the C-5' of deoxyribose of thymidylate residues. Such lesions account for a minority (10-15%) of the strand breakage found in the aerobic reaction without misonidazole. Amino-containing nucleophiles such as tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) and hydroxylamine act as acceptors for the activated formate. The amount of [3H]formyl hydroxamate produced from DNA labeled with [5'-3H]thymidine is comparable to the spontaneously released thymine. During the course of the reaction, misonidazole undergoes a DNA-dependent reduction and subsequent conjugation with glutathione used to activate NCS-Chrom. From these and earlier results, we propose a possible mechanism in which the carbon-centered radical formed at C-5' by hydrogen atom abstraction by thiol-activated NCS-Chrom reacts anaerobically with misonidazole to form a nitroxyl-radical-adduct intermediate, which fragments to produce an oxy radical at C-5'. beta-Fragmentation results in cleavage between C-5' and C-4' with the generation of 3'-formyl phosphate-ended DNA, a high-energy form of formate, which spontaneously hydrolyzes, releasing formate and creating a 3'-phosphate end, or transfers the formyl moiety to available nucleophiles. A similar mechanism, involving dioxygen addition, is probably responsible for the 10-15% DNA gap formation in the aerobic reaction.

Abstract
The addition of Fluosol-DA carbogen breathing to melphalan treatment of the FSa-IIC fibrosarcoma was assessed by tumor growth delay and cell survival assays. Melphalan (10 mg/kg) administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) was preceded by Fluosol-DA (0.3 ml) administered intravenously (i.v.) and followed by 1 hr of carbogen breathing; this resulted in a tumor growth delay of 9.5 +/- 1.4 days or an approximately 3-fold increase compared to melphalan alone. Melphalan produced about 1.7 logs of cell killing; neither carbogen breathing nor Fluosol-DA pretreatment altered the cell killing observed. There was a 10-fold increase in tumor-cell killing when Fluosol-DA was administered immediately prior to melphalan administration followed by carbogen breathing for 1 hr. Density gradient separation identified a population of denser FSa-IIC cells which showed increased sensitivity to melphalan after Fluosol-DA administration. There was no additional toxicity to bone marrow as measured by CFU-GM with the combination of melphalan/Fluosol-DA/O2 compared to melphalan alone.

Abstract
Thiol-activated neocarzinostatin chromophore abstracts tritium from the 5', but not from the 1' or 2' positions of deoxyribose in DNA and incorporates it into a stable, non-exchangeable form. The abstracted tritium remains covalently associated with the chromophore or its degradation product after treatment with acid or alkali, respectively. Drug activation and the consequent hydrogen abstraction reaction, presumably generating a carbon-centered radical at C-5', do not require molecular oxygen but have a dose-dependent relation with thiol. Under aerobic conditions, where base release and DNA strand breaks with nucleoside 5'-aldehyde at the 5'-ends are produced, hydrogen abstraction from C-5' parallels these parameters of DNA damage. It is possible to formulate a reaction scheme in which the carbon- centered radical at C-5' is an intermediate in the formation of the various DNA damage products found under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

Abstract
The anaerobic reaction of poly(deoxyadenylic-deoxythymidylic acid) with neocarzinostatin activated by the carboxyl radical CO2-, an electron donor generated from gamma-ray radiolysis of nitrous oxide saturated formate buffer, has been characterized. DNA damage includes base release and strand breaks. Few strand breaks are formed prior to alkaline treatment; they bear 3'-phosphoryl termini. In contrast, most (66%) of the base release occurs spontaneously. DNA damage is highly (95%) specific for thymidine sites. Neither DNA-drug covalent adduct nor nucleoside 5'-aldehyde, which are major products in the DNA-nicking reaction initiated by mercaptans and oxygen, is formed in this reaction. Data are presented to show that the CO2(-)-activated neocarzinostatin intermediate is a short-lived free radical able to abstract hydrogen atoms from the C-1' and C-5' positions of deoxyribose. Attack occurs mostly (68%) at the C-1' position, producing a lesion whose properties are consistent with those of (oxidized) apyrimidinic sites.
