In contrast to the classic anthracyclines (doxorubicin and daunorubicin), aclarubicin (ACLA) does not stimulate topoisomerase II (topo II) mediated DNA-cleavage. This distinction may be important with respect to topo II-related drug resistance, and the aim of this study was to clarify drug-structures responsible for this difference. Various ACLA analogs were tested for: (a) interaction with purified topo II, (b) induction of DNA cleavage in cells, (c) cellular uptake and (d) cytotoxicity. A remarkable distinction was seen between analogs containing the chromophore aklavinone (AKV) (e.g. ACLA) which have a carboxymethyl group (COOCH3) at C-10 and drugs with a beta-rhodomycinone (RMN) chromophore with hydroxyl groups at C-10 and at C-11. Thus, RMN-containing analogs, including the aglycone RMN itself, effectively stimulated topo II-mediated DNA cleavage. In contrast, AKV-containing drugs inhibited DNA cleavage and antagonized cytotoxicity mediated by RMN-containing drugs. In OC-NYH/VM cells, exhibiting multidrug resistance due to an altered topo II phenotype (at-MDR), cross-resistance was only seen to the RMN-containing drugs whereas no cross-resistance was seen to the non-DNA cleaving AKV-containing compounds. Thus, our data show that one domain in the anthracycline is of particular importance for the interaction with topo II, namely the positions C-10 and C-11 in the chromophore, and further that at-MDR was circumvented by a COOCH3 substitution at position C-10. These findings may provide guidance for the synthesis and development of new analogs with activity in at-MDR cells.
