Popis: Since cyclocytidine primarily inhibits the incorporation ofthymidine into DNA of cultured cells, the inhibition of DNA polymerase by some cyclocytidine derivatives was examined. Cyclocytidine 5'-monophosphate (cycloCMP) and aracytidine 5'-monophosphate (araCMP) markedly inhibited DNA polymerase, whereas cyclocytidine and aracytidine did not inhibit the enzyme in cell-free systems. Inhibitory potency of cyclo-CMP was about 1/15th that of araCMP. The possibility of phosphorylation of cyclo-cytidine to cyclo CMP was also examined, and it was revealed that cyclocytidine was phosphorylated at a rate 1/7th that of aracytidine or 1/10th that of deoxycytidine.
